Chapters Deadstria
Chapter 2 The Bunker
Thunderstorm runs into the club house.
“Girls!!” He says.
Applebloom and Scootaloo lie on the floor dead.
“No.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“Thu….Thunderstorm?” A voice says.
Thunderstorm turns around.
“Sweetie Belle.” He says.
She hugs his hoof crying.
“Thunderstorm.” She says.
Thunderstorm hugs her and wraps his wings around her.
“I’m here Sweetie.” He says.
Sweetie Belle cries into his chest.
Thunderstorm looks at Applebloom’s and Scootaloo’s bodies.
“Let’s get out of here.” He says.
“Sniffle.” “Ok.” Sweetie Belle says.
Thunderstorm looks into her eyes.
“Don’t worry.” “I’ll keep you safe.” “I promise.” Thunderstorm says.
She smiles.
Thunderstorm levitates her onto his back and takes off.
Where David and Rainbow Dash are.
Thunderstorm lands with Sweetie Belle on his back.
“About time!!” “I’ve had to shoot like 30 Necromorphs!!” David says.
“Necro what?” Thunderstorm says.
“Can we just get to the bunker?" David says.
“Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
Sweetie Belle moves to the top of his head and Thunderstorm levitates Rainbow Dash onto his back.
In front of the bunker.
“Wait.” “Where is Applebloom and Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash says.
Sweetie Belle starts crying.
Thunderstorm looks at the ground.
“No.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Oh man.” David says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red.
“Those things killed them.” Thunderstorm says.
Storm clouds form in the sky.
“You are going to tell me everything about them and then!!” Thunderstorm says.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m going to kill every last one of them.” Thunderstorm says.
“Come on then.” David says.
They enter the bunker.
Lights come on.
Lighting up a long corridor.
“That’s odd.” “That blood wasn’t there before.” David says.
Thunderstorm closes his eyes and listens.
“I hear nothing.” He says.
“Please no.” David says.
They run down the corridor and turn a corner.
A Necromorph Cheerilee stands in front of them.
“Crap.” Thunderstorm says.
“Celestia no.” David says.
She runs at Thunderstorm.
“David!!” “A filly and a pregnant mare in danger here!!!” Thunderstorm says.
POW!!
She falls down dead.
“Thank you.” Thunderstorm says.
David stares at Cheerilee.
Thunderstorm wraps a wing around him.
“I’m sorry.” “I’m so sorry.” Thunderstorm says.
“I could’ve been here.” “You had to go to the club house.” David says.
“If I didn’t then Sweetie Belle would’ve ended up dead like Applebloom and Scootaloo.” “We had a choice to make.” “To save a filly or a mare and we chose the filly.” “Would you really leave a filly to die?” Thunderstorm says.
“No.” David says.
“Exactly.” “Thanks to us a sweet little filly that has her whole life ahead of her is still alive.” “We made our decision now let’s move on.” Thunderstorm says.
“Right.” David says.
They enter a room.
Sweetie Belle jumps off Thunderstorm and runs to Rarity.
Rarity hugs her.
“What about Applebloom?” Applejack says.
Thunderstorm looks at the ground and shakes his head.
“Celestia no.” Applejack says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Scootaloo to?” Twilight says.
Thunderstorm nods.
“Those poor girls.” “They had no idea what was coming.” Twilight says.
“Everypony listen up.” “I’m going to tell you everything that I know.” David says.
“That will be short.” JT says.
Twilight smacks him on the back of his head.
“I’ll shut up.” JT says.
Twilight smiles.
Hours later.
“And that’s it.” David says.
Thunderstorm pulls up a map.
“They’re covering the planet quickly.” “We need to find any survivors and gather together.” “Together we are strong.” “And we live long.” Thunderstorm says.
“Our mission is clear.” “To find any survivors that we can and to take out the Necromorphs markers.” “To kick these son of bitches out of our planet.” Ratchet says.
“Right now we are small!” “But we are great together!” “And we will grow.” “We will come together and we…will..conquer.” “We are Equestrians and this is our home!!!” “Let’s show them who they’re messing with!!!” “Who’s home they have attacked!!!”. “Let’s show them what a pony can do.” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony cheers.
Thunderstorm smiles.

Chapter 4 The Mark Inside
“We should move on before something shows up.” Twilight says.
“What about Angel?” “I can’t just leave him like that.” Fluttershy says.
“I got it Flutter.” “Yall can go.” “I’ll take care of Angel.” Thunderstorm says.
“What about me?” Rainbow Dash says.
“Ratchet carry her.” Thunderstorm says.
“Are you crazy?!” “She’ll break my back!!” Ratchet says.
“Excuse me?!” Rainbow Dash says.
“Well if your too weak to carry a mare then…” Thunderstorm says.
“No.” “I’ll carry her.” Ratchet says and puts her on his back and barely stands up.
“Be a stallion.” Thunderstorm says.
“We don’t have your strength Thunder.” “We’re not sons of a Dark King.” David says.
“No excuses.” “Now get out of here.” Thunderstorm says.
They all leave.
Thunderstorm looks at Angel.
“Goodbye my friend.” Thunderstorm says.
Angel catches on fire and it spreads to the walls.
“No pony will miss this place.” He says and leaves the cottage and catches up to the others.
“You buried him that fast?” Fluttershy says.
“Um….yep.” “Magic is great to have.” He says and smiles at her.
She smiles back.
“Thanks Thunder….for always being there.” She says.
Thunderstorm frowns.
“Sure Flutter.” He says.
“What’s wrong?” David says.
“Nothing.” Thunderstorm says.
“Is that smoke?” Applejack says.
“Don’t be crazy.” Thunderstorm says.
“Uh guys.” David says.
“What?” Thunderstorm says.
“We’re still miles from the marker right?” David says.
“Twilight?” Thunderstorm says.
“Yep.” “Why?” Twilight says.
David points forward.
“That’s why.” He says.
They all look forward.
A marker stands a few feet away from them.
“Buck there’s two.” “I’ll take care of it.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
Armor appears on Thunderstorm’s wings.
He starts walking to the marker.
Princess Luna steps in front of him.
Thunderstorm stops.
“Mother?” Thunderstorm says.
“Why did you let me die?” Princess Luna says.
“You’re dead?” Thunderstorm says.
“I would’ve come to you if I wasn’t!” “You know I’m dead!!” “Why did you let me die?!!” Princess Luna says.
“I’m sorry mother.” “I didn’t know what was going on.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“I didn’t know that you needed me.” He says.
“What is going on?” “Luna isn’t there.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Oh buck.” “Thunderstorm!!” David says.
BOOM!!!
Thunderstorm faints.
“Oh no.” David says.
“What is going on?!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
“You might want to sit down before I tell you and try to stay calm since you’re pregnant.” David says.
Rainbow Dash sits down.
“I’am calm.” “Now tell me before I break your face.” She says.
“You are Thunderstorm’s wife.” David says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Thank you.” “Now tell me.” She says.
David sighs.
“Ok.” David says.
In Thunderstorm’s head.
“I’m sorry!!!” He says and falls on his knees crying.
“I’m so sorry.” He says.
Princess Luna walks up to him.
Her eyes glowing.
“Don’t worry son.” “We will be whole soon.” She says.
“Huh?” “M…Mother?” “What are you doing?” Thunderstorm says.
She grabs his neck.
“Making us whole.” She says.
“Mother….I can’t breathe.” “Mother….Mother please.” Thunderstorm says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Princess Luna roars.
Back to David and Rainbow Dash.
“And that’s it.” David says.
“Oh Luna.” “Please make it Thunder.” Rainbow Dash says.
“The blue thing on Thundy’s back is now yellow and dropping.” “It changes colors!” “Cool!!” Pinkie Pie says.
“What?!!” David says.
“What’s wrong?” Rainbow Dash says.
“It’s his health!” “It’s dropping!!” “He’s dying!!” David says.
“What?!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
In Thunderstorm’s head.
“You’re not…..mother.” “She wouldn’t…..hurt me…like….this.” “Let…..go.” Thunderstorm says.
It smiles at him.
BOOM!!!!
Thunderstorm catches on fire.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Princess Luna screams.
She lets go out of pain.
“Get out of my heeeeeeead!!!” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
He stabs his armor through her chest.
Back to David and Rainbow Dash.
Thunderstorm’s eyes slowly open and he stands up but stumbles.
Applejack catches him.
“Whoa partner.” “Just slow down.” “You’ve been through quite a rodeo.” Applejack says.
Rainbow Dash runs to him and hugs him.
“Thunderstorm!!!” She says and kisses him.
“I’m so glad you’re ok.” “I was so worried.” “Your health was dropping.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm shakes his head.
“I’m…I’m fine Dashy.” He says.
She smiles and hugs him.
“I saw Aunt Celestia behind mother.” “I’m alone….the last of the royal family.” “My family is gone.” “Father is probably dead to but my reason to fight and keep on is hugging me now.” “Together we stand and together we rise.” Thunderstorm thinks.
“David.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah?” David says.
“I’ve done enough for one day.” “You can destroy the marker.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” David says.
“No.” Fluttershy says.
“I’ll be fine.” “Don’t worry.” He says and starts walking to the marker.
Thunderstorm and the others watch him.
“Daddy.” A voice says.
David stops and turns around.
“Cheryl?” David says.
Cheryl walks up to him.
“Daddy.” She says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Why did you let me die daddy?” She says.
“I…I couldn’t get to you or your brothers and sister.” “I’m sorry.” David says.
Sandstorm, Sourcan, Berryllee, and Cheerilee stand beside Cheryl.
BOOM!!
David faints.
“David!!” Fluttershy says.
Thunderstorm stops her.
“You can’t help him.” “Just stay back where I know you’re safe and hope.” He says.
Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks.
“David.” She says.
“This kind of worry and hurt is exactly what I want to protect her from.” “She doesn’t need this.” Thunderstorm says.
“I go through it with you.” Rainbow Dash says.
“You’re a lot stronger than Flutter and you know that.” Thunderstorm says.
“You can’t protect her forever.” “If love found a way into your dark heart then it will find a way past you and she will be with who she wants to be with.” Rainbow Dash says.
“If you’re trying to convince me to let go that will never happen.” “I’d sooner go to Hell.” Thunderstorm says.
“Please don’t say that.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Sorry Dashy.” Thunderstorm says.
In David’s head.
Cheryl, Sandstorm, Sourcan, and Berryllee hug him.
David hugs them back.
Tears going down his cheeks.
Cheerilee stares at him.
“Cheerilee?” David says.
“You hug them and look at me like you care about us.” Cheerilee says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“But you let them die and you….shot me.” “Ha huh.” “I thought you loved me.” “We had four kids together.” “The way you held me and looked at me.” She says.
“I do love you but you were gone and you were about to kill Thunderstorm, Sweetie Belle, and Rainbow Dash.” “I had no choice and I couldn’t get to you kids.” “I’m so sorry.” David says.
Cheerilee walks up to him.
“Do you want us back?” She says.
“More than anything.” David says.
Cheerilee’s and the kids eyes glow.
“Then make us whole again.” They say.
The kids squeeze tighter and tighter.
“I…can’t….breathe.” David says.
“You want to join us.” “Just hold still my love.” “We’ll be whole soon.” Cheerilee says.
David’s bones start cracking.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” David screams.
Back to Thunderstorm and Fluttershy.
“His health is dropping!!” Fluttershy says.
“Dang it David.” “Don’t you die on us.” “We’ll be left in the cold!!!” “Fight you sorry excuse for a pony!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“What is Ratchet doing?” Twilight says.
“I don’t know.” Thunderstorm says.
Ratchet runs towards them.
“Hit the deck!!” He says and presses a button on a remote.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thunderstorm and the others fall over.
“Whoa!” “What the buck was that Ratchet?!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“I took care of the marker.” “You’re welcome.” Ratchet says.
“You could’ve killed us!!!” Applejack says.
“Are you bucking insane?!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Maybe.” Ratchet says.
“You ever do that again and I’ll break your spirit.” “Literally!!” Thunderstorm says.
“That would be…” Ratchet says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm’s armor stabs into the ground an inch from Ratchet’s neck.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red and he looks into Ratchet’s eyes.
“I dare you to finish that sentence.” Thunderstorm says.
Ratchet closes his mouth.
“Thought so.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm pulls his armor out of the ground and walks away from Ratchet.
“David’s health is blinking red!!!” Fluttershy says.
“He’ll make it.” “He has to.” Thunderstorm says.
In David’s head.
“Let…..go…….of………me.” David says.
Cheerilee smiles.
David barely manages to pull out his plasma cutter.
POW!!
Sourcan goes down.
POW!! POW!! POW!!
Beryllee, Sandstorm, and Cheryl go down.
David takes in big gulps of air.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Cheerilee roars.
David points the plasma cutter at her.
“You’re going to shoot all of us because you don’t care about us.” “We’re your family and you let us die.” “You cold hearted monster.” Cheerilee says.
Tears go down David’s cheeks.
“Just….go away!!!” He says.
POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!
Back to Thunderstorm and Fluttershy.
“Please.” Fluttershy says.
“Wake up.” Thunderstorm says.
David’s eyes slowly open and he tries to stand up but falls back down.
Fluttershy runs to him.
“David.” She says.
David smiles.
“Heh.” “Hey Fluttershy.” He says.
Fluttershy kisses and hugs him.
“Twilight.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’m on it.” She says and runs to David and uses a medical kit on him.
His health goes back to full.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Thank you Twily.” Thunderstorm says.
Twilight smiles.
“Happy to Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm walks up to David.
“Cheerilee?” He says.
David nods.
“Our kids to.” David says.
“I wish I could’ve helped you.” Thunderstorm says.
“I know.” “Ow.” David says.
Thunderstorm hits David’s shoulder.
“That’s for scaring all of us.” He says.
David smiles.
“Sorry.” David says.
“I don’t need to lose one of my best friends.” Thunderstorm says.
“Best friend!” “That role is already taken Thunder and you know it.” A voice says.
“Firefly?” Thunderstorm says.
Firefly smiles.
“Hey Thunder.” Firefly says.
“Is it really you?” Thunderstorm says.
“It’s really me.” “Aint no stupid aliens killing me.” “Not easily that is.” He says and laughs.
“Aint that the truth.” Thunderstorm says.
They both laugh.
They do a secret hand shake then hug.
“So how is my best friend?” “Still causing trouble wherever he goes I’m guessing.” Firefly says.
“Pretty much.” Thunderstorm says.
They both laugh again.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“it’s good to have you back Fire.” He says.
Firefly smiles.
“It’s good to have you back to Thunder.” “Is Applejack with yall?” Firefly says.
“Right over there partner.” Thunderstorm says.
“Thanks bro.” Firefly says and walks to Applejack.
“Firefly!” She says and hugs him.
Firefly hugs her back and smiles.
“Hey cowgirl.” He says.
“What about Jam Apple and Applesauce?” Applejack says.
“We were attacked and….I tried my best but…..ha huh……they’re dead.” “They told me to run.” “That I couldn’t save them.” Firefly says.
Tears go down Firefly’s and Applejack’s cheeks.
“I wanted to stay….to die with them but….I remembered you and I knew I couldn’t do that to you so I ran….to find you.” “They died fighting cowgirl.” “You’d be proud.” Firefly says.
Applejack cries into his chest.
Firefly holds her.
Thunderstorm looks at them then at Rainbow Dash.
She’s rubbing her belly.
She looks at him and smiles.
He smiles back.
“I will do everything to protect her.” “They won’t take my family from me.” Thunderstorm thinks.

Chapter 5 Mommy?
“Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm’s horn glows.
“Hail.” “Hail come in.” “Hail can you hear me?” “Cousin!” “Please Hail I already lost one cousin.” “I don’t need to lose two.” “Hail!!” Thunderstorm thinks.
“What’s wrong?” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm’s horn stops glowing.
“Nothing.” “Let’s move.” “Fluttershy.” He says.
“What?” Fluttershy says.
“Get beside Dashy.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” She says and gets beside Rainbow Dash.
“Alright.” “I’ll be in the front of them.” “David I want you on the right side of them and I want Ratchet on the left of them and I want JT behind them.” “Be on your guard at all times if you’re not and they get hurt or worse…I can’t even explain what I’ll do to you.” “Now move out!” Thunderstorm says.
“Something is wrong or Thunder wouldn’t have put us on such high security.” “He’s not telling us something.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I’d rather not know anyway.” “I just want this nightmare to end.” “So many ponies are dead and dying.” “I just want it to end.” Fluttershy says.
“We all do Fluttershy.” He says and wraps his wing around her.
“We all do.” He says.
“Back in formation!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Sorry jeez.” David says.
“Help…me…..please.” A voice says.
“Yall stay here.” “I’ll check it out.” Thunderstorm says.
He walks away.
“He really shouldn’t walk off on his own like that.” David says.
“Thunder knows what he’s doing for a situation like this.” “Don’t worry.” Twilight says.
“Ok if you say so.” David says.
Where Thunderstorm is.
Thunderstorm walks up to a mare lying on the ground.
“Hang on.” “I can heal you.” Thunderstorm says.
“No…no you can’t.” She says and opens her hoofs revealing a filly.
“You’re a mother.” Thunderstorm says.
The mare nods.
Tears going down her cheeks.
“Take good care of her King Thunderstorm….please.” She says and kisses the filly on top of its head.
“No.” “Let me heal you please.” Thunderstorm says.
The mare lays her head down.
“You’re already too late.” “Take…good…..care……..of…………..her.” The mare says and her eyes slowly go lifeless.
The filly looks at her.
“Mommy?” The filly says.
Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
“No.” He says.
“Mommy look at me.” “Mommy?” The filly says.
Thunderstorm looks at the filly.
“Mommy is sleeping sweetie.” “Let her rest.” “I’m going to keep you safe while mommy rests ok?” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” The filly says.
“Get on my back sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
The filly hops onto his back.
Thunderstorm walks away.
“Bye mommy.” The filly says.
Thunderstorm stops and looks back at her then continues walking.
Where the others are.
Thunderstorm walks up.
“T….Twilight.” He says.
Twilight walks up to him.
“What is it Thunder?” Twilight says.
“Could you take this filly please.” Thunderstorm says.
“Sure Thunder.” Twilight says.
Thunderstorm levitates the filly onto Twilight’s back.
“B…But I thought you were…” The filly says.
“Let’s go everypony.” Thunderstorm says.
3 miles later.
Twilight walks up beside Thunderstorm.
“Thunder.” She says.
“What?” Thunderstorm says.
“She wants to be with you.” “I don’t know what happened or why she’s here because all she’ll say to me is I want Thunderstorm.” Twilight says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“I found Scootaloo dead.” “My own daughter.” “I don’t need another and I sure as hay aint her daddy.” Thunderstorm says.
The filly is shaking on Twilight’s back.
Twilight looks at her then at Thunderstorm.
“Please Thunder.” Twilight says.
Thunderstorm looks at the filly.
“Fine.” “Get on kid.” Thunderstorm says.
The filly jumps onto his back and hugs his neck shaking.
Thunderstorm sighs.
“Let’s go.” He says.
5 miles later.
“Where’s mommy?” The filly says.
“Mommy isn’t coming sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
“Why?” “Did I do something?” The filly says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“No sweetie….you did nothing.” “Mommy loves you very much and she’s waiting for you somewhere very nice and wonderful.” “You’ll see her again one day.” “I promise.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” The filly says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“Ok.” “We’ve been walking and dealing with a lot of crap for awhile now.” “We should stop and get some rest.” He says.
"It's not smart to rest with Necromorphs around." David says.
“We’ll be fine.” “They’re not in this area.” Thunderstorm says.
“Right now they aint.” David says.
“We’ll be fine.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ook.” David says.
Thunderstorm lies up against a tree.
Rainbow Dash lies down against the tree beside him.
She closes her eyes and goes to sleep.
Thunderstorm closes his eyes.
The filly snuggles into him.
Thunderstorm opens his eyes and looks at her in shock.
She closes her eyes and smiles.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Night angel.” He says and closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

Chapter 6 The Light of Day
Rarity opens her eyes and sees Bon Bon standing a few feet away.
Bon Bon slowly falls in half.
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” Rarity screams.
Everypony jumps awake.
“What’s wrong?” Thunderstorm and David says.
Rarity points to Bon Bon.
“Oooh bit.” David says.
“What the buck?” Thunderstorm says.
A creature runs at Twilight.
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” She screams.
David catches it’s scythe and stabs it into its own body and slices up.
SHING!! SHING!!
Thunderstorm spins around and cuts it in half.
It falls down dead.
“What was that?” Thunderstorm says.
“A Twitcher.” “They’re quite dangerous so….yeah.” “We should get out of here before more show up.” David says.
“You heard the pony.” “Let’s move out.” “Back into formation.” Thunderstorm says.
“Do you really think we’ll find any survivors?” Rarity says.
“I hope so.” Thunderstorm says.
“Can I stay near you?” “I’m scared.” Rarity says.
“Of course Rare.” “Let’s move!” Thunderstorm says.
5 miles later.
“Are you ok now partner?” “No more of them hallucinations?” Applejack says.
“I don’t know.” Thunderstorm says.
“I couldn’t even imagine what it’s like to have your own mother try to kill ya.” Applejack says.
“AJ please.” “I don’t want to talk about it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Sorry partner.” Applejack says.
“It’s ok AJ.” Thunderstorm says.
“Son.” “My son.” A voice says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“N…No.” “Not again.” Thunderstorm says.
Luna appears in front of him.
“Hello son.” She says.
Thunderstorm starts to stumble.
“M…Mother.” He says.
Applejack grabs him.
“Don’t fall partner.” She says.
“Mother…” Thunderstorm says.
His eyes close.
“Whether he hits the ground or not makes no difference.” “He’ll still enter the hallucination.” David says.
“Thunderstorm?” The filly says.
“He’ll be fine little buckaroo.” “You’ll see.” Applejack says.
In Thunderstorm’s head.
“Get away from me!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Why do you want me to leave you son?” Luna says.
“You’re not my mother!!” Thunderstorm says.
“How could you say that?” “Do you not love me?” “Is that why it was so easy for you to let me die?” “To not hear my screams for my own son to help me…..to save me.” Luna says.
Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks.
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” “Get away from meeeeeeeee!!!” “Stop it.” “Stop it please.” “I’m sorry….I’m so sorry.” “Mother.” He says and falls to his knees crying.
Luna walks up to him.
Her eyes glowing.
“Join me my son.” “Walk into the light with me.” She says.
Light appears behind her.
“I…..” Thunderstorm says.
“I miss you son.” “Please come with me.” “Make us whole.” Luna says.
“I….I….Mother…..” Thunderstorm says.
Back to David and Applejack.
“Whoa!” “Whoa!” “His health is dropping and it’s dropping fast!!” Applejack says.
“Oh bit.” David says.
“Thunderstorm?” The filly says.
“Thunder….please…make it.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Oh here comes some more of those sword guys.” Pinkie Pie says.
“What?” “Ooooh buck.” “That’s Twitchers Pinkie.” David says.
“I know.” Pinkie Pie says.
5 more join them.
“We’re screwed.” David says.
One heads straight for Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash’s eyes go wide.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm appears in front of her.
His eyes glowing red.
His armor clashed against the Twitchers scythe.
“Don’t…touch….her.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
It falls down in pieces.
One heads for the filly.
Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank.
SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
It falls in tiny pieces.
Storm clouds form in the sky.
“Families, fillies, mares, you kill them all and I’m….tired…..of……it.” “Ha huh.” Thunderstorm says.
“Stand back everypony.” David says.
“You…even…killed….this…..ones……..mother!!!”
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ground shakes and cracks.
Thunderstorm goes through them like some graceful dance of death.
They all fall down dead.
“Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…nnnnn..nnnnnnnnnnn.” Thunderstorm says.
“Uh…you ok Thunder?!” David says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes focus.
“Yeah….fine.” “Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” Thunderstorm says and walks back to them.
“You ok Dashy?” He says.
Rainbow Dash kisses him and smiles.
“I’m fine thanks to you.” “Like always.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles back.
“You….protected me?” The little filly says.
“Yes I did kid.” Thunderstorm says.
“You got that mad over me?” The little filly says.
“You were most of it yes.” Thunderstorm says.
“Mommy is dead?” The little filly says.
“I should’ve told you straight off but yes she is.” “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner kid.” Thunderstorm says.
“You got that mad over me.” The little filly says.
“We better move.” “We don’t know if…” “Oof.” Thunderstorm says and looks down to see the little filly hugging his hoof.
Tears going down her cheeks.
“Why are you crying sweetie?” Thunderstorm says.
The little filly looks up at him.
“I have a daddy.” She says.
“I….I….uh….” Thunderstorm says.
He looks into her light blue eyes and sighs.
“Yes you do sweetie.” He says.
She hugs his hoof tighter and smiles wider.
“Hop on my back sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
She hops onto is back and hugs his neck.
“What’s your name sweetie?” Thunderstorm says.
“Dia De Los Muerto.” The little filly says.
“Oh Luna.” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony stares at her.
“What?” “What’s wrong?” She says.
“Nothing.” Twilight says.
“Let’s just get walking.” Thunderstorm says.

“Your name is Dia De Los Muerto?!” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah.” “Why?” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“That means the day of the dead sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
“I know.” “So?” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“Oh bit.” “What kind of Hell are we in?” David says.
“This is Equestria.” “This is our home.” “My kingdom and I dare you to call it Hell again.” Thunderstorm says.
“Sorry.” David says.
“This is our home and we aint going to lose it.” “I refuse to lose it!!” “And you do to or you wouldn’t be here.” “We are a family.” “Ponies united and together we will take our home back.” Thunderstorm says.
“Dimensia is killing you and me.” David says.
“I don’t care damn it!!!” “We are going to fight!!!” “And we are going to win!!!” “We have never quit before!!!” “And we’re not going to start now!!!!” “I believe in us all and I won’t give up on family.” “I won’t give up on our home.” Thunderstorm says.
The girls smile and hug Thunderstorm.
“We won’t either.” They say.
“Let’s do this.” Twilight says.
“Yeah.” Applejack says.
“Quite.” Rarity says.
“Wahooo!” Pinkie Pie says.
“Um….yeah.” Fluttershy says.
“Let’s rock em.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Let’s do this.” David says.
“Yeah.” Ratchet says.
“Let’s kill some bastards.” JT says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“I knew yall weren’t quitters.” “Especially you Dashy.” Thunderstorm says.
She kisses him.
“Thanks Thunder.” She says.
“Happy to Dashy.” Thunderstorm says .
Thunderstorm looks at the forest.
A human walks out of it.
Holding his arm and limping.
David’s eyes go wide.
“Isaac?!” David says.
“Do I know you?” Isaac says.
“Uh…no but I know you.” David says.
“Whatever.” “I need medical attention…please.” Isaac says.
“Human.” “What are you doing in my kingdom?” “In my world?!!” Thunderstorm says.
“I…I don’t know.” “I woke up here.” “At first I thought it was the marker but it would’ve passed by now if it was.” “I don’t know.” Isaac says.
“He knows even more about Necromorphs than me.” “We need him.” David says.
“I don’t need any humans help.” Thunderstorm says.
A large creature steps out from the forest.
“Oooh bit.” “A Brute.” “Just great.” David says.
The Brute charges at Thunderstorm.
They clash strengths.
Each one trying to hold the other back.
POW!! POW!!
David shoots it’s legs and arms off.
POW!!!!!!!!!
Fluttershy and Isaac shoot its head off.
“Thank you David and Fluttershy.” “I didn’t need your help human.” Thunderstorm says.
“You got it anyway.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm looks him in his eyes.
“You don’t know what your messing with and it’s never smart to go somewhere blind so I’d shut up if I were you human.” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red and he walks away from Isaac.
“Yeah.” “I wouldn’t mess with him Isaac.” “Trust me.” David says.
Twilight gives Isaac a med kit.
“Thunder hates and I mean hates humans so I’d stay away from him if I were you.” She says.
“Why does he hate humans?” Isaac says.
“He only sees the imperfection of humans so as far as he’s concerned.” “Humans need to be wiped out completely.” David says.
“Does he see his own imperfection?” Isaac says.
“Yes.” David says.
“Oh….I’ll stay away…for now.” Isaac says.
“Ok good.” “For now?!” David says.
Isaac walks away.
“Oh boy.” Twilight says.
“Dia De Los Muerto.” Thunderstorm says.
“What daddy?” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“What did you mean I have a daddy?” “Don’t you have one sweetie?” Thunderstorm says.
“Nope.” “Only had….mommy.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“Your mother was beautiful.” He says.
“Sniffle.” “She was.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“She raised you on her own and did a great job and now it’s my turn to raise you.” “My little girl.” “I will keep you safe and I will look after you.” “I promise.” He says and smiles at her.
“I love you sweetie.” He says.
Dia De Los Muerto smiles back.
“I love you to daddy.” She says and hugs his neck.
“Thank you.” She says.
“You don’t have to thank me sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
“I know.” “I want to.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Thunderstorm smiles even more and kisses the top of her head.
She blushes and giggles.
“Daaaaddyyyy.” She says.
“Sorry sweetie.” “Your shining light blue eyes just get to my heart.” “I love you so much.” “You are my daughter Dia De Los Muerto.” Thunderstorm says.
Dia De Los Muerto smiles even more.
“I love you so much to.” “You are my dad Thunderstorm Rising.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“How did you find out my last name?” Thunderstorm says.
“Rainbow Dash told me.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“Don’t be doing that.” “Using my own wife against me like that.” “Girl.” “That aint cool.” Thunderstorm says.
She giggles.
“Daddy stop it.” She says.
“Ok sweetie.” “Let’s move out!” Thunderstorm says.
End of Chapter 7
Deadstria
Chapter 8 A New Plan
Isaac walks up beside Thunderstorm.
“Get away human.” Thunderstorm says.
“I realize you don’t like me but look around at your world.” “It is being torn apart and I’m one of the only ones who can help you.” “We need to work together or you’ll lose everything.” “Including her.” He says and points to Rainbow Dash.
Thunderstorm looks at her.
She smiles at him.
Thunderstorm looks at Isaac.
“Ok Isaac…you win.” Thunderstorm says.
“I lost the one I loved.” “I don’t want to see that happen again.” “So first tell me who you are?” Isaac says.
“I’am king Thunderstorm Rising.” “The son of Princess Luna and the Dark King Darkstar.” “I’am the king of both Equestria and Dark Pony Territory.” “I’am also the protector of Equestria.” Thunderstorm says.
“Then I’ve met the right pony.” “We need to take out their markers in order to save your planet.” Isaac says.
“We’re trying to find survivors.” David says.
“Any survivor will be killed before you find them.” “It’s hopeless to try to find one.” “We need to strike now.” Isaac says.
“It won’t be easy to get there.” “It’s all the way out there somewhere outside of the Crystal Empire and that’s pretty far away.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah.” “We got a lot of miles to cover.” David says.
“Let’s move then.” Isaac says.
“You heard him!” “Move!!” Thunderstorm says.
4 miles later.
“Have any of you had any hallucinations?” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm and David raise their hoofs.
“I have it to.” “Just keep fighting it and you’ll…” Isaac says.
A small creature jumps onto Isaac’s back and starts tearing at him.
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” He screams.
SHING!! SHING!!
Thunderstorm cuts its head off and cuts it in half.
It falls off of Isaac.
“Thanks.” Isaac says.
“Don’t mention it.” Thunderstorm says.
“A pack which means…” David says.
More jump out of the trees.
“…There’s more!!” “Oh shit!!” David says.
“Isn’t that Cheryl, Berryllee, Sandstorm, and Sourcan?” Thunderstorm says.
“No.” “It’s just their bodies.” David says.
They jump on Isaac and tear at him.
“Shoot!!” “Shoot!!” “Shoot damn it!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“I’am shooting!!!” David says.
Thunderstorm pulls out his plasma cutter and aims at Cheryl’s head.
POW!!!
She falls off of Isaac and crawls towards him.
POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!
He shoots her arms and legs off. She stops moving.
“There…I got them.” David says.
Isaac’s health bar blinks red.
“Don’t you have some med kits?” Thunderstorm says.
“No…I used….them all.” Isaac says.
“Oh.” Thunderstorm says and hoofs Isaac a med kit.
Isaac uses it.
“Thanks…again.” He says.
“Don’t mention it…again.” Thunderstorm says and they both laugh.
“How can you both be laughing at a time like this?!!” David says.
“Good point.” Thunderstorm says.
David smiles.
“Thank you.” He says.
We…need…to…..keep……..moving.” Isaac says.
BOOM!!!
Isaac faints.
“Uh oh.” David says.
“Ah buck.” Thunderstorm says.
“Is that Scootaloo?” Sweetie Belle says.
They all look.
Scootaloo runs out of the bushes and stops in front of Thunderstorm.
“N…No.” “Not my little girl.” “They already killed her…they didn’t have to do this to her.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears appear in his eyes.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” She roars and runs at him.
Thunderstorm holds her out at hoofs length.
She swats at him.
“My little girl.” Thunderstorm says.
“It’s not her anymore Thunder.” “Put her body to rest.” Rainbow Dash says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“But it’s our daughter.” He says.
“It was our daughter.” “Our daughter is dead she deserves to have her body be at rest.” “Please Thunder.”Rainbow Dash says.
“I’m so sorry baby girl.” He says.
SHING!!
He cuts her in half.
She falls down dead.
Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
Rainbow Dash hugs him.
Tears in her eyes.
“I had to kill my own children and you don’t see me crying.” David says.
SMACK!!
Fluttershy smacks him.
David rubs his cheek.
“Ow.” “I’ll shut up.” David says.
Fluttershy looks at Thunderstorm and Rainbow Dash.
“I always pictured seeing Scootaloo doing professional stunts one day and wowing everypony.” “Heh.” “Seeing her smiling as the crowd is awed by her amazing stunts.” “Thunder and Rainbow Cheering her on from the stands.” Twilight says.
Applejack smiles.
“Heh…yeah.” “I always pictured working side by side with Applebloom on the farm.” “Laughing and cuttin up.” “Just havin a real good ole time.” “Being introduced to her stallion and bein an aunt.” “That will never happen now.” “I can still hear her giggle.” “It haunts my dreams.” She says.
“Thunder told me that Scootaloo haunts his.” “You’re not alone.” Twilight says.
“I know.” Applejack says.
Isaac wakes up.
“Wow.” “I hate dimensia.” He says.
“We all do.” David says.
“What happened here?” Isaac says.
“Don’t ask.” “Let’s just move on.” David says.
“Ok.” Isaac says.
They all follow Isaac except for Thunderstorm.
He kisses Scootaloo’s cheek.
“I love you baby girl.” “I hope you can hear me.” He says and catches up to the others.
Her body catches on fire.

Deadstria
Chapter 9 A Broken Heart
Everypony looks at Thunderstorm as they walk.
Thunderstorm keeps walking.
Staring forward.
“Thunder…are you ok?” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm keeps walking.
“Thunder please answer me.” She says.
Thunderstorm looks at her then looks forward again and keeps walking.
“Oh my gosh.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I know that look.” “Don’t do it!” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“This world is not Equestria anymore.” “It’s Hell.” “Our world is dying and I can’t live in a place like this.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“My first and only daughter is dead….and she just tried to kill me.” “My own mother tries to kill me.” “Ha huh.” “No.” “Don’t tell me not to do it because I’m done.” “I can’t take it anymore.” “I want to see Scootaloo smiling again.” “I want to feel mother hugging me again.” He says and closes his eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
Storm clouds form over him.
“What is going on?!” David says.
“He’s going to kill himself with lightning.” “He’s given up.” Isaac says.
“N…No!” David says.
Tears go down Rainbow Dash’s cheeks.
“Thunderstorm please don’t…don’t leave me.” “Don’t leave us.” She says and rubs her stomach.
Thunderstorm looks at her.
“I love you Dashy.” “I’m sure I’ll see you both soon.” He says.
“Please.” “We can still save Equestria.” Rainbow Dash says.
“It’s never too late.” Twilight says.
“Please stick by us.” “We’ve stuck by you partner.” “It’s only right that you do the same.” Applejack says.
“I made you some cupcakes.” “Please don’t go Thundy.” Pinkie Pie says.
Fluttershy walks up to Thunderstorm.
“After all the years you’ve looked after me.” “You’re just going to leave me?” She says.
“You don’t need me anymore.” “You have David.” “Don’t you get it?” “I’m the King of Equestria.” “I was responsible for keeping all the lives that are dead now alive.” “I was supposed to protect them but they’re all dead.” “We’re all that’s left.” “I couldn’t even protect my own daughter.” “I’m done Flutter.” Thunderstorm says.
“So you’re just going to leave me and Rainbow Dash and your own unborn baby to die?” “I thought you cared about us?” Fluttershy says.
Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks.
“I thought you cared about me and everypony else.” Fluttershy says.
“I do.” Thunderstorm says.
“Then don’t leave us….please.” Fluttershy says.
A creature walks out of the forest.
“Oh crap an Ubermorph!” David says.
It runs at Dia De Los Muerto.
SHING!!
It’s claw hits Thunderstorm’s armor.
Dia De Los Muerto looks up at Thunderstorm and smiles.
“You’ve taken enough.” “You won’t take her!!!” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!!
He cuts the claw off.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” The Ubermorph screams.
“David!” “Isaac!” “Shoot the rest of its arms off!” Thunderstorm says.
POW!! POW!!
David and Isaac shoot them off.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” It screams again.
SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
The thing falls into pieces.
Dead.
Thunderstorm kneels down in front of Dia De Los Muerto.
“Are you ok sweetie?” He says.
She hugs him.
“I’m fine daddy.” “Thank you.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Happy to sweetie.” He says.
“You see.” “You do still have something to live for.” Isaac says.
“You do still have a daughter.” “You’re hugging her right now.” David says.
Isaac walks up between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
“They were in your head to when you were killing that thing weren’t they?” Isaac says.
“Of course.” Thunderstorm says.
“A beautiful pregnant wife, a beautiful sister, and a pretty daughter.” “Can you really leave?” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm looks at Dia De Los Muerto.
She smiles at him.
Her beautiful light blue eyes shining at him.
Thunderstorm smiles back.
“No…No I can’t.” He says.
She hugs him tight.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy run over and hug him to.
Thunderstorm stands up with Dia De Los Muerto on his back and looks at her, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash.
“My family.” “You are the strongest part of me.” “Thank you for keeping me alive.” He says.
“Awwwww.” They all say and hug him.
“You said he’s a Dark King right?” Isaac says.
“Yep.” David says.
“Are you sure that you know what a Dark King is?” Isaac says.
“You haven’t seen what we’ve seen.” “Trust me.” “He fits the title.” David says.
“but he’s not evil.” Isaac says.
“It’s very complicated ok.” “I can’t explain it.” “Let’s just move on.” David says.
“Ok.” Isaac says.
4 months later.
Rainbow Dash is lying up against a tree holding hers and Thunderstorm’s baby.
“Awwwwww.” “It’s a girl.” Twilight says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“What do you want to name her?” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Rain.” “Rainstorm.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles even more.
“Perfect.” He says.
“She’s so cute.” “Goochy goochy goo.” Rarity says.
Rain giggles.
“I still can’t believe that Fluttershy is 4 months pregnant.” Applejack says.
Fluttershy blushes.
“Still as beautiful as the first day I saw her.” David says.
Fluttershy kisses his cheek and smiles.
Isaac looks at them all and smiles.
“There is hope.” Isaac thinks.
Thunderstorm gives Rainbow Dash a long kiss and smiles.
“I love you Dashy.” “Thank you for this wonderful gift.” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Thank you to.” She says.
“For what?” Thunderstorm says.
“For being here.” She says and kisses him.
He kisses her back.
“Uh….it’s time to move!” “We got about three Ubermorphs heading this way!!” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm levitates Rainbow Dash onto his back then Rain into a small crib that’s on Rainbow Dash’s back.
“Let’s go.” He says.
“Your strength is ridiculous.” Isaac says.
“We know.” “Now run!!” David says.
End of Chapter 9
Deadstria
Chapter 11 The Fearless King
What we do now decides everything.
We cannot fail.
We cannot mess up.
We cannot lose.
We must win.
We must take our home back.
We must….fight.
Where Thunderstorm and the others are.
“Fire faster!!!” Thunderstorm screams.
“I’m trying!!!” David says.
“I hate these dame things so much.” Isaac says.
“They’re Twitchers right?” Twilight says.
“Yep.” “A whole truck load of them!!!” David says.
“No.” “Firefly did not die for nothing.” Thunderstorm says and levitates the baby and Rainbow Dash off his back and stops running.
JT picks up Rainbow Dash and keeps running.
Rarity picks up Rain and keeps running.
Thunderstorm faces the Twitchers.
David and Isaac stand beside him.
“How many do you count?” Thunderstorm says.
“30.” David says.
“Me too.” “There was 40 but we shot them.” Isaac says.
“Run.” “Catch up to the others.” Thunderstorm says.
“What?!!” David says.
“I’m not leaving anyone to die.” Isaac says.
“I won’t die.” “I’ll catch up once I’m done.” “Now go.” Thunderstorm says.
“You’re lying.” “I can tell.” “Not even you can handle that many Twitchers.” David says.
“He’s right.” “Think Thunderstorm.” Isaac says.
“Go now.” “That’s an order not a request.” “I’am the king of Equestria and you will do what I say.” Thunderstorm says.
“N…No.” David says.
“I’m not from Equestria.” “You have no power over me.” Isaac says.
The wind picks up.
“I said go!!!” Thunderstorm says and the wind blows Isaac and David far away from Thunderstorm.
They quickly stand up in time to the see the crowd of Twitchers engulf Thunderstorm.
“No.” David says.
“The only pony that I’ve ever respected is now dead.” “Great.” “Just great!” “Without him we’re dead anyway!!” “None of us could hold a Brute in place like he did!!” “For the others to shoot its arms and legs off!!” “And the way he made it so easy to kill an Ubermorph.” “And that little girl.” “She’s already had to lose her mother.” “What are we going to tell her?” Isaac says.
“Nothing.” “We don’t know for sure yet that he’s actually dead.” “Come on.” “We’ll tell the others what he said.” “That he’ll show up when he’s done.” David says.
“Ok.” Isaac says.
They reach the others.
“Where’s Thunderstorm?” Rainbow Dash says.
“He said he’d catch up once he was done with the Twitchers.” David says.
“You left him alone to face 30 Twitchers!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
“They’ll kill him!!” Applejack says.
Rainbow Dash starts crying.
“I know he’s dead…I know it.” She says and starts crying worse.
“How could you…just leave him like that?” Twilight says.
“We had no choice.” David says.
“He sent us flying back with wind.” Isaac says.
“We tried to stay but he wouldn’t let us.” David says.
“Curse his stubbornness.” Rarity says.
Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks.
“My…brother.” She says and starts crying.
David wraps a wing around her.
She pushes him away.
“Get away from me!!” She says and breaks down crying.
“Don’t worry.” “She’s just upset right now.” “She’ll calm down.” “Give her time.” Isaac says.
“I promised her I find out in time.” “She’s more than mad at me.” “I let her brother die and I broke a promise.” David says.
“Like you said.” “We don’t know for sure yet.” Isaac says.
“I hope he’s alive or I may have lost Fluttershy forever.” David says.
“They’re pretty close huh?” Isaac says.
“He’s been a big brother to her since they were 13.” “Yeah.” “They’re pretty close is an understatement.” David says.
“He’ll show up.” “You’ll see.” “I can already tell that he’s not one to die that easily.” Isaac says.
“With him…you never really know.” “He could be dead and he could not be.” “He’s unpredictable.” David says.
“All good leaders are.” Isaac says.
“He gave us his blessing for getting married but I may have done something unforgivable.” David says.
“Give him time.” “He’ll show up.” Isaac says.
Ratchet pulls out a map.
“I made a secondary plan incase Thunderstorm did end up dead.” “We can still save Equestria but it’s going to be a lot harder.” He says.
“Really?” “You’re pulling that out now?” JT says.
“Like Isaac said.” “We need to move fast.” “There’s no time for grieving right now.” Ratchet says.
Rainbow Dash stops crying and her eyes are cold.
She stands up more straight.
“He’s right.” “Thunder did not die for nothing and we are wasting time.” “Let’s take Equestria back for him and everypony else that has died.” “I won’t let him die in vain!!” Rainbow Dash says.
Ratchet nods at her.
“Let’s go.” He says.
“I…I…can’t move.” “I don’t want to leave him.” Fluttershy says.
JT picks her up.
“We’re not leaving you.”He says.
“Thank you.” Fluttershy says.
“No problem.” JT says.
David levitates Dia De Los Muerto onto his back.
She looks back towards where Thunderstorm and the Twitchers are.
“Daddy.” She says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
She closes her eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
Isaac looks back to.
“You better show up soon or we’re all dead.” Isaac says.
End of Chapter 11
Dark is Light and Light is Dark
Deadstria
Chapter 12 Dark is Light and Light is Dark
In a world so cold and full of evil one shutters at the thought of our king being dead.
Who will lead us?
Who will help us?
Who will….protect us?
“Run faster!!” David yells.
“I’m trying!!” “I recently gave birth thank you!!” Rainbow Dash yells.
“You’re falling behind!!” “Run faster!!” David says.
“Damn Ubermorphs.” Isaac says.
He keeps shooting at them as he runs.
“I’m not going to make it.” “Just go on without me!!” Rainbow Dash says.
“No.” David says.
“Go!!!” Isaac says.
He pushes David forward.
They run off.
Rainbow Dash faces the Ubermorphs.
“Thunderstorm…I’ll see you soon my love.” She says.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lightning strikes the ground in front of Rainbow Dash.
She closes her eyes from the flash and opens them to see Thunderstorm standing in front of her.
She looks at him in shock.
He smiles at her.
“Did somepony say my name?” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank and he smiles at the Ubermorphs.
“Show time.” He says.
The Ubermorphs freeze.
SHING!!!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
All three fall into pieces.
Thunderstorm’s eyes focus and he walks up to Rainbow Dash.
“Now darlin.” “You didn’t really believe that I was going to leave a beautiful mare like you alone did you?” “You roped this cowboy and he aint going anywhere.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash smiles and hugs and kisses him.
Where the others are.
Isaac lays on the ground hurt.
David lays a few feet away hurt also.
Fluttershy is up against a tree.
A Twitcher brings it’s scythe back.
SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
The Twitcher’s head falls off then his stomach and then his thighs.
Fluttershy looks in shock.
“Thun…derstorm?” She says.
Rainbow Dash sits down beside Fluttershy smiling.
David and Isaac watch him in shock.
“He’s….alive.” David says.
Isaac smiles.
“I…knew it.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm walks to the middle of all the chaos.
“The son of light and dark breathes again.” “Let darkness fall!!!” Thunderstorm’s eyes glow completely red.
The ground covers with darkness.
“What the hell?” Isaac says.
“Wow.” David says.
Another more deep voice comes out of Thunderstorm.
“Past kings of the Dark Pony Empire.” “We are here to serve!!!” The voice says.
Darkness shoots up from the ground and takes pony shapes.
Soon they look completely like a real pony.
Thunderstorm’s eyes go back to normal and he looks at the kings of Dark Pony past.
“Welcome my ancestors.” “Please help us.” Thunderstorm says.
The kings look at each other then take off attacking the Necromorphs.
“You can’t win my son.” “You will die.” A voice says.
Thunderstorm turns around and looks her in her eyes.
“I’m not scared of you.” “in fact I’ve been waiting for you to come back.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
Luna’s eyes go wide.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“So I can make you suffer.” He says and cuts her stomach open.
Crimson red blood and organs pour out.
Blood pours out her mouth and she falls down dead.
She slowly disappears.
The darkness and the kings disappear.
Thunderstorm looks around.
All the Necromorphs are dead.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“What the Hell is he?” Isaac says.
“The controller of light and dark.” “Oh and the son of Princess Luna and the Dark King Darkstar.” “Ruler of all Darkponies and he’s the son of Equestria also.” “He has one very short, and small white hair on his back that shows it.” David says.
“Has he ever been killed?” Isaac says.
“Multiple times actually.” “We’ve just brought him back because we love him so much and we need him.” David says.
All the girls hug Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm smiles and hugs them back.
“I missed you all to.” He says.
Dia De Los Muerto hops onto his back and hugs his neck tight.
Tears going down her cheeks.
“I’m so sorry sweetie.” “I know it must have been horrible for you but I’m back now.” “Daddy isn’t going anywhere.” Thunderstorm says.
Dia De Los Muerto smiles and kisses his cheek.
“I love you daddy.” She says.
Thunderstorm kisses her cheek.
“I love you to midget.” He says.
She giggles.
“Daddy stop it.” She says.
“No.” Thunderstorm says.
“Daddy.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Ok sweetheart.” “Come on everypony!!” “Let’s move out!!” “We got a lot of ground to cover and no time to waste.” Thunderstorm says.

Deadstria
Chapter 13 The Light and Dark Son
“How did you survive all those Twitchers?” David says.
“I nearly didn’t.” “It was the Rager spirit that saved me.” Thunderstorm says.
“You went Rager.” “That explains it.” David says.
“I’am the son of dark and light.” “The true form of Equestria’s might.” “I’m not about to be killed by these things.” Thunderstorm says.
“What do you mean son?” Isaac says.
“I control dark and light like I do Thunderstorm’s because I’am the Hero of Light.” “The destined protector of Equestria.” “I’m the first and only Hero of Light ever born but I’m from a kind known as protectors and it’s in our blood to protect and die for Equestria.” “We can’t help it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Wow.” “Anything else I should know?” Isaac says.
“I could set you on fire just by looking at you.” “I’am a fire, night, dark, light, and thunderstorm pony.” “I’am what you call a hybrid or mutant.” “My DNA is full of five different kinds of ponies.” Thunderstorm says.
“How many were you actually born with?” Isaac says.
“Four.” “The fire was put into me by mother.” Thunderstorm says.
“Wow.” Isaac says.
“Why are we talking about you?” David says.
“He wanted to know exactly who I’am.” Thunderstorm says.
“It’s good to know your enemies and friends.” Isaac says.
“True.” David says.
“Oh and I’m connected to Equestria so if I die.” “Equestria starts dying to.” Thunderstorm says.
“And you said you’ve died multiple times.” Isaac says.
“Yep.” “Draconix slows down the dying and that gave them enough time to bring me back.” Thunderstorm says.
“Wow.” Isaac says.
“I’m powerful but not invincible.” “If I was then Firefly would still be alive.” “Everypony would still be alive and this whole mess would be over.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah but we can still save who’s left.” David says.
“No pony is left David.” “We’re all that’s left.” “Equestria told me.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh…..” David says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
His ears go up.
Everypony freezes and looks around.
“What do you hear?” David says.
“The pack and Equestria crying.” “It can’t take all this Hell.” Thunderstorm says.
“We’re on our way to fix it.” “It will be fine.” David says.
“It better be.” “I’m not dying here.” Isaac says.
“Mother will be fine.” “Don’t worry.” Thunderstorm says.
“Mother?” Isaac says.
“I told you about the white hair on his back.” “He’s Equestria’s son.” “He has two mothers.” David says.
“What the Hell?” Isaac says.
“Ask him.” David says.
“Out of time.” Thunderstorm says.
The pack jumps out of the trees and rains down on them.
One lands on Thunderstorm’s back.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Big mistake.” He says.
SHING!!!
It falls off his back in three pieces.
Isaac pulls one off his back and rips the head off and throws it.
David flips one off his back and shoots it till only it’s legs remain.
“Skyriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!!!” Pinkie Pie screams.
A pack has stabbed it’s claw into his stomach.
It cuts all the way up to his neck. Crimson blood and throbbing, bloody organs pour out.
Skyrid’s eyes are wide.
He falls down dead.
His lifeless eyes staring into nothing.
SHING!!!
Thunderstorm cuts the pack into five pieces.
It falls down dead.
Pinkie Pie runs to Skyrid’s body.
“No.” “No.” “Wake up.” “Please.” She says.
BOOM!!!!
Skyrid and his organs catch on fire.
Pinkie Pie looks at Thunderstorm.
“I know he was your husband and your somepony but we have no time.” “We have to go.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears go down Pinkie Pie’s cheeks.
She looks at Skyrid’s burning body.
His lifeless burning eyes looking out into nothing.
“No.” Pinkie Pie says.
“What?” Thunderstorm says.
“No!!!” “I won’t leave him!!!” “He’s not dead.” “He can’t be…..he can’t.” Pinkie Pie says.
Thunderstorm walks up to her.
“He’s right there in front of you burning and lifeless as Hell.” “Get out of your silly fantasy world where no pony dies and come on.” He says.
Pinkie Pie closes her eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
She nods her head and stands up.
“Good.” “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says and levitates Pinkie Pie onto his back.
“You’re staying with me until further notice.” He says.
Pinkie Pie cries into his back.
They all set off.
Rainbow Dash walks up to Thunderstorm.
“You were kind of hard on her.” She says.
“I’ve lost my mother, best friend and brother, and my daughter.” “Do you really think I’m in the mood to not be hard on a pony?” Thunderstorm says.
“Good point.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks back at Pinkie Pie.
“Please stop crying Pinkie.” “I can’t stand it when you cry.” He says.
She hugs his neck and cries into the back of it.
Thunderstorm sighs.
“I get it Pinkie.” He says and wraps his wings around her.
She gives him a quick squeeze.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“You’re welcome.” He says.
“Man I hate it when Pinkie cries.” David says.
“Me too.” “It’s so not like her…..to be sad” Fluttershy says.
Tears appear in Fluttershy’s eyes.
“She must be really hurting.” “I’m so sorry Pinkie.” Fluttershy says.
David hugs her.
She cries into his chest.
“I know.” “I know.” “Let it out.” “I’m here.” David says.
She cries harder into his chest.
He hugs her tighter and kisses the top of her head.

Chapter 14 A Older Brother
10 miles later.
Pinkie is still crying into Thunderstorm’s neck.
Thunderstorm stops and looks back at her.
“It’s not like you to cry this long Pinkie.” “What’s wrong?” He says.
Pinkie Pie rubs her stomach.
Thunderstorm’s eyes go wide.
“Your pregnant?!!” He says.
Pinkie Pie nods.
“Oh buck.” “How long have you been pregnant?” Thunderstorm says.
“two…two months.” She says and cries into his neck again.
“I’m sorry Pinkie.” “I shouldn’t have asked you that so early.” Thunderstorm says.
“I…It’s ok Thundy.” Pinkie Pie says.
“Don’t worry Pinkie.” “I’m going to get you through this.” “I promise.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie kisses his cheek.
“Thank you Thundy.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles at her.
“You never have to thank me Pinkie.” “You’re my sister like Flutter is.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie smiles.
“I have a brother!!” She says and bounces around Thunderstorm.
“I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” “And he is a king.” “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” She says.
“Should we stop her?” David says.
“No.” “She’s distracted right now from her sadness.” “Let her be.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” David says.
Pinkie stops bouncing.
“Huh.” “My baby has an uncle!!!” She says and tackles Thunderstorm and hugs him.
“You’re an uncle.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Heh.” “Yes I’am Pinkie and I couldn’t be happier.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie smiles at him.
“I love you Thundy.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles even more.
“I love you to Pinkie.” He says.
Pinkie Pie hugs him tighter.
“Don’t crush me now.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie lets go of him.
“Sorry.” She says.
“It’s cool.” “It’s always cool sis.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie smiles.
“Ok…bro.” She says and giggles.
“I love that!!!” She says and bounces around.
“I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” She says.
“An older brother to be exact.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yay!!!” “I have an older brother.” “I have an older brother.” Pinkie Pie says.
Applejack giggles.
“Pinkie.” “You sure do crack me up sometimes.” She says.
“Me too.” Rarity says.
“She cracks everypony up.” Twilight says.
“Yep.” David says.
“I don’t see it.” Isaac says.
Everypony looks at him.
“What?” “Nothing is funny to me anymore.” Isaac says.
“I’ll fix that.” Pinkie Pie says.
“Later.” “We got a whole planet to save.” “Remember?” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh yeah.” “Let’s goooooo!” Pinkie Pie says.
“Heh.” “Let’s go everypony.” Thunderstorm says.
“I love Pinkie.” Sweetie Belle says.
“Me too.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“Alright kido.” “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” She hops onto his back.
SHING!!!!
Thunderstorm’s armor appears on his wings.
“We got a badass over here.” David says.
“Shut up and move.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yes sir.” David says.
3 miles later.
A tentacle shoots out and grabs Rarity’s hoof.
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” She screams.
“Rarity!!” Thunderstorm says.
It pulls her into the forest.
Thunderstorm sends Dia De Los Muerto onto Twilight’s back.
“Look after her.” Thunderstorm says.
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
A ring of purple night sky and shining stars goes out.
“Woooooooo.” “It’s so beautiful.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“That’s what happens when he does a Sonic Starboom.” “It’s 100 numbers past the speed of a Sonic Rainboom.” Twilight says.
“Cool.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Where Thunderstorm is.
He catches up to Rarity.
“Hang on!!” He says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm cuts the tentacle.
Rarity takes what’s wrapped around her hoof and throws it away.
“Ewwwwwww.” She says.
Thunderstorm lands in front of her.
“Run.” He says.
“What about you?” Rarity says.
“I said run!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Rarity quickly stands up and runs away.
A creature heads straight for him.
POW!!!! POW!!!!! POW!!!! POW!!!!! POW!!!!
The creature falls down dead.
“What?” Thunderstorm says and turns around.
Vinyl Scratch stands behind him.
“I…Impossible.” “Equestria told me that there was no other survivors left.” Thunderstorm says.
“Heh.” “Well I’m here.” “What’s up Thunder.” Vinyl Scratch says.
An infector lands on her back and stabs her head.
“No!!” Thunderstorm says.
POW!!!! POW!!! POW!!!! POW!!!!
The infector falls off dead.
“Vinyl?” Thunderstorm says.
Things come out of Vinyl.
“No.” “No Vinyl please.” “I’ve already lost enough.” “I don’t need to lose anymore friends.” “Please.” Thunderstorm says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” Vinyl Scratch roars and runs at him.
“I’ve gotten too cold to care anymore.” He says and points the plasma cutter at her head.
POW!!! POW!!! POW!!! POW!!!
She falls down dead.
“Maybe I should feel some pain from shooting you but my heart is already gone.” He says and walks away.
Her body catches on fire.
Where the others are.
Thunderstorm emerges from the forest.
Rainbow Dash hugs him.
“Thank goodness you’re alright.” She says and looks at his eyes.
“What happened?” She says.
“Nothing.” “Let’s go.” He says and walks away.
“Don’t lie to me.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm keeps walking.
“I know it’s hard because she was my daughter to and Firefly was my friend to but I don’t shut you out so please don’t shut me out.” Rainbow Dash says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“If I lose you then I have nothing left to live for.” “Please don’t leave me.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm stops walking and faces her.
“You’re the only reason I’m still alive to Dashy.” “I’m sorry.” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“It’s ok.” She says and runs up to him and hugs and kisses him.
“It’s to calm out here.” “Something isn’t right.” “What could’ve made them leave?” Isaac says.
SHING!!!
A Javelin stabs into the ground one inch from Twilight’s hoof.
Twilight backs away from it with wide eyes.
“Oh bit!” “Take cover!!!” David says.
Javelins fill the air.
End of Chapter 14
Deadstria
Chapter 15 The Power of Light
“What is going on?!” Thunderstorm says.
“It’s Neutologist.” “They worship the marker and protect it.” David says.
“Why would you protect what kills you?!!” Thunderstorm says.
David shrugs.
“They’re crazy.” He says.
“I hate these damn freaks.” Isaac says.
“Those javelins are moving too fast for me to catch with hooves but Isaac.” “I have an idea for how you can.” Thunderstorm says.
“What are you thinking?” Isaac says.
“Just walk out there and take them out.” “I promise you that a javelin won’t touch you.” Thunderstorm says.
“You better not be playing me.” Isaac says.
“I don’t break my promises Isaac.” Thunderstorm says.
“Alright.” “Let’s do this.” Isaac says.
Isaac steps out into the open.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow completely white.
Isaac catches a javelin.
“Whoa.” “They’re moving so slow to me now.” Isaac says.
“Go.” “Stop wasting time.” Thunderstorm says.
“Right.” He says and runs through the javelins.
Dodging and catching them.
“Wow.” David says.
The javelins finally stop raining down.
Isaac walks back.
“I killed a couple but the others retreated before I could get to them.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes go back to normal.
“Oh well.” “We’ll get them in time.” Thunderstorm says.
Isaac holds out his hand.
“Thank you for not taking the chance to kill me.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm shakes his hand.
“I told you I keep my promises.” Thunderstorm says.
“You certainly do.” Isaac says.
Ratchet pulls out a map.
“We are almost halfway there.” “From here on it’s probably going to be a lot worse till we reach the marker.” “We all need to be even more on our guard from here on.” Ratchet says.
“How could we be even more on our guard?” “We’ve been under like constant attack since we left the bunker.” JT says.
“Don’t be a smart flank.” Ratchet says.
“Enough!” “We need to get moving.” “No arguing.” Thunderstorm says.
“It’s getting so cold.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“Just snuggle into my back to stay warm sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok daddy.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“What about our baby?” “It’s too cold out here for her.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Wrap your wings around her.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” Rainbow Dash says.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaa!! A voice says.
Everypony looks at Applejack.
“Sorry…I don’t know what’s wrong.” “Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” She says.
Thunderstorm walks up to Applejack.
“Did you and Firefly have sex?” Thunderstorm says.
Applejack nods while wiping her mouth with her hoof.
Thunderstorm looks at Applejack’s stomach.
“You’re pregnant partner.” “Looks like Firefly gets to live on after all.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’m pregnant?” Applejack says.
“I would say as pregnant as Fluttershy is.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’m 4 months pregnant?!!” Applejack says.
Thunderstorm nods.
“Yep.” He says.
Rarity rubs her stomach.
“Oh no.” “Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” She says.
Twilight rubs her stomach.
“Uh oh.” Twilight says.
“Don’t you do it.” “Don’t you dare Twilight.” JT says.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Twilight says.
“Oh no.” JT says.
“Great.” “We’re traveling with a group of pregnant mares.” David says.
Thunderstorm looks at Soul Silver and JT.
“Well she is my wife so don’t look at me.” Soul Silver says.
“And Twilight is my wife so don’t you be looking at me.” JT says.
“I will look at you because do you realize what you two have done?” “You have crippled the team!” “By making them pregnant we have to put them under extra security and they won’t be able to defend themselves as well as they could if they weren’t pregnant!” “Like this mission wasn’t already hard enough!!” “You two got to go and do this!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“What about them?” “They had sex with us.” JT says.
“Shut up!!!” “If any of them are killed!!!” “I’ll have you slowly ripped apart by a Timber Wolf pack!!!” “The both of you!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“No!!!” Twilight and Rarity scream.
“I’ll do something I can promise you that.” “Now move out!!” Thunderstorm says.
5 months later.
Fluttershy is lying up against a tree holding hers and David’s baby and Applejack is lying up against another tree holding hers and Firefly’s baby.
Fluttershy smiles down at her baby.
“She’s so cute.” Fluttershy says.
David smiles.
“Yeah she is.” “Just like her mother.” David says.
Fluttershy smiles at him.
“She has David’s gray eyes.” Rarity says.
“And your coat Fluttershy.” Twilight says.
“And her mane has pink from your mane and the yellow from mine.” David says.
“What are you going to name her?” Rarity says.
“Sirena.” “Her name is Sirena.” Fluttershy says.
“Who knows how much magic she’s carrying in those wings of hers since she’s David’s daughter.” Twilight says.
David smiles.
“Yep.” David says.
Where Applejack is.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“He’s beautiful AJ.” Thunderstorm says.
Applejack smiles.
“Thanks Thunder.” “He has Firefly’s yellow eyes.” She says.
Tears appear in her eyes.
“He would love him.” Thunderstorm says.
“He would.” Applejack says.
“He also has your coat and his mane has the yellow from yours and the yellow from Firefly’s.” Thunderstorm says.
“I wish he had Firefly’s red coat.” “And yellow and orange mane.” “I wish he was Firefly.” She says and starts crying.
Thunderstorm hugs her.
“It’s alright AJ.” “He’s yours and Firefly’s son.” “He has Firefly’s blood in him.” “Love him and raise him well because I know you will.” Thunderstorm says.
Applejack nods with her eyes closed tight and tears pouring out.
“What’s his name AJ?” Thunderstorm says.
“Applesauce.” She says and cries into his chest.
Thunderstorm holds her.
“I miss him to AJ.” “He was my brother.” “Not by blood but he was my brother.” “It’s ok AJ.” “I’m here.” Thunderstorm says.
“Is he here for everypony?” Isaac says.
“Pretty much.” “He’s the nicest pony you’ll find besides Fluttershy.” David says.
Fluttershy blushes.
“Wow.” Isaac says.
“Yep.” David says.

Deadstria
Chapter 16 Dia De Los Muerto
“You can stay with me and Dashy AJ.” “We’ll help you raise him.” Thunderstorm says.
“Thanks Thunder but I can’t put yall out like that.” Applejack says.
“You’re not putting us out at all.” “We live in a huge black castle AJ.” “And with so many dead now.” “A lot of rooms are open.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah.” “We got plenty of room for you Applejack and Applesauce.” Rainbow Dash says.
“But what about yalls baby?” Applejack says.
“There will be two babies and three of us.” “We’ll have plenty of help.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Yep.” Thunderstorm says.
“Alright but I’m paying yall back somehow.” Applejack says.
“No you’re not.” “You owe us nothing AJ.” Thunderstorm says.
“And we’re the Queen and King so do what we say.” Rainbow Dash says.
Applejack smiles.
“I just don’t feel right staying with yall unless I pay yall back.” She says.
“Don’t worry about paying us back.” “You got enough to worry about with that baby.” Thunderstorm says.
“You owe us nothing.” Rainbow Dash says.
Applejack smiles even more.
“Alright.” “I owe yall nothing.” “Thank you.” “Thank you both.” Applejack says.
“Happy to.” Thunderstorm and Rainbow Dash says.
“Uh we should get moving.” David says.
“Right.” Thunderstorm says.
David levitates Fluttershy onto his back with Sirena on her back.
Thunderstorm levitates Applejack onto his back with Applesauce on her back.
They set off.
A few miles later.
“Here Dia De Los Muerto.” Thunderstorm says.
“A plasma cutter?” Dia De Los Muerto says.
“You need to be able to protect yourself and it will make me be able to worry about you a little bit less.” Thunderstorm says.
She hugs his neck.
“Thank you daddy.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“You’re welcome sweetie.” Thunderstorm says.
“She hops off his head and runs a few feet away.
“Daddy watch this!” She says and shoots some branches off of some trees.
Thunderstorm smiles and sits down and watches her.
Her smiling and laughing face as she shoots each branch and rocks on the ground.
Her beautiful light blue eyes gleaming with happiness as she plays with the Plasma Cutter.
Her happy giggling going through his ears.
“That’s my girl.” He says.
One shot cuts through a rock and bounces up and slices through a branch.
“Oh daddy did you see that?!” “Did you see it?!” She says.
“Heh yes I did darlin.” “Excellent shooting my little girl!” Thunderstorm says.
She smiles at him.
“I know!” She says and giggles and shoots some more.
Everypony smiles watching her.
SHING!!
Everything slows down for Thunderstorm as blood splatters from Dia De Los Muerto’s neck.
Her wide light blue eyes staring at him as she hits the ground.
Her crimson red blood forming around her body.
Her Plasma Cutter splashes into the puddle of her blood right beside her face.
Everypony else is frozen in shock and horror.
“No…no it can’t be.” Thunderstorm says with tears going down his cheeks.
The Twitcher runs at him.
Dia De Los Muerto’s blood still dripping from his scythe.
“Not my….little girl…..not again…..Oh Luna please not again..” Thunderstorm says.
The Twitcher pulls his scythe back to cut Thunderstorm’s neck.
SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” Thunderstorm screams as he cuts the Twitcher to beyond seeing pieces.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” Thunderstorm screams out of pain.
Everypony looks at him not sure what to say.
“I can’t believe this is happening to him again.” “Oh Celestia not again.” Rarity says.
“Thunder….” Fluttershy says.
“What can we do…to help?” Applejack says.
“This can’t be happening.” “This can’t be real.” “It just can’t be.” Twilight says with tears going down her cheeks.
“It is and only we can make it stop.” David says.
“How?!” “How exactly do we do that?!” Twilight says.
“By working together and staying strong.” Isaac says.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……” Thunderstorm’s screaming stops and his eyes glow blue and he looks at them.
“Ohhhh shit.” David says.

Chapter 17 Dimensia
“Thunderstorm snap out of it!!” Isaac says.
“I think we should just run.” David says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Thunderstorm roars.
“Thunderstorm?” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks at her and starts running to her.
His armor out.
Rainbow Dash closes her eyes.
Tears pouring out.
“I won’t let it do that to him.” “If she dies then that’s definitely the end of him.” “I love you Rarity.” Soul Silver says and runs in front of Rainbow Dash.
“Please no.” “Don’t do it Soul Silver.” Rarity says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm stabs his armor into Soul Silver’s chest.
SHING!!
He stabs the other one into his forehead.
Tears pour down Rarity’s cheeks.
“Stop it Thunderstorm!!!” She says.
POW!!
Thunderstorm pulls Soul Silver’s head off.
BOOM!!
His body hits the ground and his head hangs from Thunderstorm’s armor.
Dripping blood.
Rarity falls to her knees and breaks down crying.
BOOM!!
Thunderstorm sends Soul Silver’s head into the forest.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” He roars and runs at Rainbow Dash again.
POW!!
Thunderstorm flies into the forest.
BOOM!!
And hits a tree deep within it.
Evrypony looks at Isaac.
He’s holding the force gun.
“What?” “I had to stop him somehow.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm walks out of the forest but his eyes are normal again.
Everypony looks at him.
“I don’t feel so good.” “Everything is spinning.” “Everything is….” Thunderstorm says.
BOOM!!
He faints.
Rainbow Dash runs to Thunderstorm.
“What did you do to him?!!” She says.
“Nothing.” “It’s just the force gun.” “It wouldn’t have really hurt him.” Isaac says.
“I wouldn’t think it would hurt a pony like him at all.” David says.
“I’m pretty sure he’s entered another hallucination.” Ratchet says.
“Yep.” “I’d bet on it.” JT says.
Ratchet pulls out his map.
“By my calculations we are almost there.” Ratchet says.
“Well thank you genius.” JT says.
SMACK!!
Twilight smacks him.
“Ow!!” “Sorry.” “I won’t be smart again.” JT says.
Twilight smiles.
“I thought so.” Twilight says.
In Thunderstorm’s head.
He looks around surrounded by never ending darkness.
“Daddy.” A voice says.
Thunderstorm turns around and smiles.
“Dia De Los Muerto!” He says and hugs her.
“I missed you so much darlin.” “I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” Thunderstorm says.
Dia De Los Muerto smiles.
“Of course I wouldn’t daddy.” “I love you.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Luna appears behind him holding a Plasma Cutter.
She points it to his head.
“We’ll be together soon daddy.” “We’ll be whole again.” Dia De Los Muerto says.
Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks.
“I know what whole means sweetie and I wish you were really here but I can’t leave your mother and sister.” “I’m sorry honey.” “I’m so sorry.” He says and spins around cutting Luna across her neck.
She drops the Plasma Cutter and falls over.
He throws Dia De Los Muerto off of him and grabs the Plasma Cutter.
Dia De Los Muerto’s eyes glow blue.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” She roars.
POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!
She falls down dead.
Thunderstorm drops the Plasma Cutter crying.
Everything goes white.
Where the others are.
Thunderstorm’s eyes slowly open.
“You’re awake!” Rainbow Dash says and hugs him.
“I had to kill her.” “I had to kill her and mother.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’m so sorry Thunderstorm.” “If I could stop it I would.” “I’d do anything to stop it.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I know.” “I know Dashy but you can’t do anything.” “No pony can.” Thunderstorm says.
“Are you ok?” Rainbow Dash says.
“I had to kill her…what do you think?” He says and cries into her chest.
She wraps her hoofs and wings around him.
The girls watch in silence with sad eyes.
“If your King over there gets through all this still sane.” “You all better give him a medal or something because he has gone through Hell.” Isaac says.
“We will don’t worry.” “And he’ll make it.” “He’s pretty tough.” “He’s made it this far.” David says.
“True.” “I’ve never seen someone so dangerous yet so caring and fragile.” “It makes no sense.” Isaac says.
“He never does.” “He’s to complicated but he’s a good King, father, and friend.” David says.
“We’re almost finally at the end of this Hell.” “I don’t want to remember any of this.” Isaac says.
“None of us do.” David says.
Thunderstorm grabs the Plasma Cutter.
“Thunder please no.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm puts it in his backpack.
“Don’t worry Dashy.” “I wasn’t planning on it.” He says and stands up.
“Let’s move!!” “We got a mission to finish!!” “And lives to avenge!!!” He says.
Everypony stands up and follows Thunderstorm.

Chapter 19 The Hive
“At last.” “I will soon avenge you my brother and my little girls.” Thunderstorm says.
“For Skyrid.” Pinkie Pie says.
“That thing is too big.” “I don’t got powerful enough bombs for it.” Ratchet says.
“I have a bomb…myself.” “The light inside me will build up and turn me into a bomb and bring that thing down.” Thunderstorm says.
“No!!” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy says.
“You are not killing yourself!!” “So just stop trying to!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Please.” She says.
“If it keeps you alive and avenges everypony that has fallen then I’ll happily do it.” Thunderstorm says.
“No!!” “There has to be another way.” Fluttershy says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“There has to be!!” She says.
“Well if we had a moon that would work just fine.” Isaac says.
Everypony looks at him.
“What?” Isaac says.
“We want to save our home…not bucking destroy it!!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Then I guess there is no other choice.” “Goodbye Thunderstorm.” He says and holds his hand out.
Thunderstorm grabs it.
“Back at ya.” Thunderstorm says.
“No.” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow white and he walks towards the marker.
Rainbow Dash and the other girls start crying.
BOOM!!
The ground shakes.
Thunderstorm keeps walking.
“What was that?” David says.
“I don’t know but it felt huge.” Ratchet says.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
A giant Necromorph bursts out of the ground in front of Thunderstorm.
His eyes go back to normal.
“Great…Luna.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh….buck.” David says.
“The Hive Mine.” Isaac says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” The Hive Mine roars.
“Thunderstorm run!!!” Rainbow Dash screams.
A tentacle grabs Rainbow Dash by her hoof and takes her off the ground.
“Dashy!!!” “No…not…..again.” “I…won’t….lose….herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!” Thunderstorm screams.
Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank.
The ground shakes, cracks, and splits.
Storm clouds form in the sky.
Lighting strikes and Thunder roars louder than anything.
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!
Thunderstorm takes off into the air and stops high up above the clouds.
BOOM!!!!!
He Sonic Starboom’s off.
The ring of purple night sky and shining stars goes out through the gray sky.
A trail of purple night sky and shining stars comes out of him.
He heads for the tentacle that has Rainbow Dash.
SHING!!
He flies through the tentacle cutting it.
The Hive Mine cries out in pain.
Rainbow Dash falls.
Thunderstorm turns around and catches her on his back and lands where the others are.
Rainbow Dash slowly gets off his back and hugs him.
Tears going down her cheeks.
Thunderstorm kisses her cheek.
“You’re welcome but we don’t have time for this.” Thunderstorm says.
“I wish we did.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Me too…so much.” Thunderstorm says.
They kiss.
“Applejack.” A voice says.
Applejack turns around.
“Firefly.” Applejack says.
Firefly smiles.
“Hey Applejack.” “Heh.” “I’m back.” “I’m not dead.” “I made it.” He says.
Tears appear in Applejack’s eyes.
“I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” Applejack says.
They hug.
Firefly takes her gun.
“Yep…” Firefly says.
He aims it at her head and his eyes glow blue.
“…I’m back.” “Let’s be whole again.” He says.
POW!!!
“Applejack!!!” Twilight screams.
“Twily.” A voice says.
Twilight stops and turns around and sees Shining Armor and Princess Cadence standing behind her.
Twilight smiles.
“Heh.” “You are alive.” She says and hugs them both.
Shining Armor takes her gun and smiles.
“Of course we’re alive little sis.” He says and aims the gun at her head.
Princess Cadence smiles.
Their eyes glow blue.
“No!!!” “Twilight stop!!!” JT says.
“Shoot the pods!!!” Isaac says.
He fires at them with his Plasma Cutter.
Thunderstorm looks at Rainbow Dash.
“Give me your gun and go check on Applejack.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash hoofs him her gun.
“Ok….goodluck.” She says.
“You too.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash runs to Applejack.
Thunderstorm walks up beside Isaac.
“Live or die…I’m taking that marker with me.” Thunderstorm says.
“Same here.” Isaac says.
David walks up beside Thunderstorm.
“Same here to.” David says.
“Let’s save our home boys.” Thunderstorm says.
They all start firing.
Rainbow Dash lifts Applejack’s head.
“Applejack!!” “Applejack can you hear me?!!” “Applejack please!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
Applejack moans.
“Oh thank Luna.” “Don’t worry Applejack.” “You’re going to be ok.” “You’re just badly burned.” “You’ll be alright…I promise.” Rainbow Dash says.
Twilight’s eyes go wide and she pushes away from Shining Armor and Princess Cadence.
“N…No.” “You’re not them.” “You’re that Dimensia stuff.” “Get away from me!!!” Twilight says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Shining Armor and Princess Cadence roar.
They run at her.
“Brother?” “Sister-in-law?” “Please no.” Twilight says.
A tentacle wraps around Isaac’s waist and wipes him away.
“Damn.” “Keep firing David.” “I’ll get him.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” “Hurry.” David says.
Thunderstorm nods.
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!
And takes off.
Other tentacles attack Thunderstorm.
“Stop moving damn thing.” David says.
Twilight punches Shining Armor in his gut and takes her gun back and hits Princess Cadence with it.
She stumbles backwards.
Tears go down Twilight’s cheeks.
“I’m so sorry.” She says.

Princess Cadence falls down dead.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Shining Armor roars.
POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!
Shining Armor falls down dead.
They both disappear.
“Twilight!!” JT says.
Twilight spins around.
“JT?” She says.
JT smiles.
“Oh thank Celestia.” “You can hear me again.” JT says.
“Is that really you?” Twilight says.
“Look around.” JT says.
Twilight looks around and sees Rainbow Dash with Applejack, David shooting at the pods, and Thunderstorm racing to save Isaac.
“Yep…I’m back.” She says and cries into JT’s chest.
“I had to kill Shining Armor and Cadence.” “They’re dead JT…they are.” Twilight says.
JT hugs her tight.
“I’m so sorry.” He says.
Tears appear in his eyes.
“I’m so sorry Twilight.” “I’m so sorry.” JT says.
Thunderstorm reaches Isaac.
“Prepare for a free fall!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok!!” Isaac says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm cuts the tentacle and Isaac falls.
Tentacles grab Thunderstorm’s wings.
“No!!” Thunderstorm says.
More tentacles wrap around him.
Thunderstorm struggles.
“Nooooooooo!!” He screams.
BOOM!!
Isaac hits the ground.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” Thunderstorm screams.
He’s pulled up above the Hive Mine’s mouth.
“Just a few more.” David says.
Fluttershy walks up beside him.
“Let me help.” She says.
All the girls except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack walk up and start firing.
“Thanks Girls.” He says and keeps firing.
They all nod and keep firing.
Thunderstorm struggles in the tentacles.
“Why…won’t…my…..armor….cut…..these?” He says.
The Hive Mine opens its mouth.
Thunderstorm stops struggling.
“It’s useless.” “I’ll see you soon my little girls….my brother…..mother…..Aunt
“Hurry!!” “He’s stopped struggling!!!” David says.
Rainbow Dash looks up at Thunderstorm.
“Please fight Thunder.” “Don’t leave me.” Rainbow Dash says.
Rainbow Dash looks at Rain and the other babies hidden behind a giant rock.
“Please don’t leave us.” She says.
POW!!
David shoots the last pod.
The Hive Mine screams in pain but keeps hanging on.
Thunderstorm opens his eyes.
They’re glowing red.
“No.” “I won’t leave my family!!!” Thunderstorm says.
POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!
Thunderstorm rips the tentacles out and throws them off of himself.
The Hive Mine screams in pain.
“Go to Hell.” Thunderstorm says.
BOOM!!!!!
He Sonic Starboom’s into its mouth and out its back.
His armor pointed forward.
The Hive Mine screams in pain and falls over.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Dead.
“I have an idea!!!” “Twilight, Rarity, Hunter, and JT help me!!!” Thunderstorm screams.
“Ok!!” They all say.
They all run up beside him.
“We’re going to throw this thing’s body way up into the atmosphere with our magic and then bring it down as fast as we can ok?” Thunderstorm says.
“Are you crazy?!!” Twilight says.
“We’re nowhere strong enough for that.” Rarity says.
“With light anything is possible.” Thunderstorm says.
Light goes out of Thunderstorm and into all of them.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow white.
“Now combine it with your magic and will and let’s save our planet.” Thunderstorm says.
All their eyes glow white and their horns glow.
The Hive Mine starts glowing and slowly lifts off the ground.
“Whoa.” David says.
“Throw it up as hard as you can!!!” Thunderstorm says.
It goes flying up high into the atmosphere.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Now bring it down…quickly.” Thunderstorm says.
It shoots down.
Catching on fire.
“Oh bit!!!” “Take cover!!!” David says.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dust, snow, and debris fill the air.
It slowly clears.
Thunderstorm and everypony else stand unharmed.
Isaac moans.
Thunderstorm runs to him.
“Isaac!!” “You’re alive!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Not for long….Ah…….COUGH!!!.....almost every bone in my body is broken…..so much is hurt……I’m dying.” “COUGH!!! COUGH!!! He says and coughs up blood.
“Can’t we do anything?” Thunderstorm says.
“No….you have nothing that will help……just kill me…..please….I don’t want to suffer…..please…..use your armor…..please Thunderstorm.” Isaac says.
“I wanted to kill you when you came here but not anymore.” “You are my friend Isaac.” “The only human I actually like.” “We got to do something.” Thunderstorm says.
“You can’t….kill me….COUGH!!!....COUGH!!.....Ah!!.....Please Thunderstorm.” “I don’t want….to die slowly.” “I don’t want…to suffer….please.” Isaac says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes turn cold.
“What is killing you to killing my own daughters.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
He stabs into Isaac’s chest and looks into his eyes.
“Say hello to your girlfriend for me.” “Goodbye Isaac.” Thunderstorm says.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm pulls his armor out.
“Goodbye….Thunderstorm………thank you.” Isaac says.
BOOM!!
His head hits the ground.
David runs up.
“No!!” “Why did you stab him?!!” David says.
“He was dying and he asked me to.” “He didn’t want to suffer so I ended his suffering.” “The poor human is in peace now.” “Now shut up and come on.” “We got to get Applejack to a hospital.” Thunderstorm says.
“You don’t care about him at all do you?” David says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“If you ever say that again.” “You’ll be the next one to feel my armor in their chest.” Thunderstorm says and walks away.
“You could at least bury him!!!” David says.
BOOM!!
Isaac’s body catches on fire.
“Oh…that works to.” He says and follows Thunderstorm.
They reach Applejack and the others.
“Come on.” “We got to get her to a hospital.” Thunderstorm says.
“How?” “Ponyville is so far away.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Not for Sonic Starboom speed.” “Put her on my back and I’ll have her there in no time.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ok.” She says and puts Applejack on Thunderstorm’s back.
“I’ll see yall there.” Thunderstorm says.

In the Hospital.
“We’re losing her!!!” The doctor says.
“Stay with us ma’am!!!” “Fight!!!” Another doctor says.
“She’s fading fast.” The first doctor says.
“She’s a hero we can’t let her die.” The other doctor says.
In the waiting room.
Thunderstorm and the others stand beside each other.
Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks.
“Equestria tells me that she is dying.” “They’re going to lose her.” Thunderstorm says.
Twilight looks at Applesauce.
“No.” Twilight says.
Tears go down all their cheeks.
“I hate Dimensia.” Rainbow Dash says.
She starts crying.
“We all do.” David says.
Thunderstorm looks down the hallway at the double doors that lead to Applejack’s room.
“Please don’t leave me sister….please.” Thunderstorm says.
A pony walks up to Thunderstorm.
“King Thunderstorm all the Necromorphs and markers are gone sir.” “We have killed them all.” The pony says.
“Sniffle….thank you….make sure all the dead are properly buried.” Thunderstorm says.
“Of course sir.” He says and walks away.
Hours later.
A doctor walks out of the double doors and up to Thunderstorm.
“Well?” Thunderstorm says.
The doctor shakes his head.
“I’m sorry.” The doctor says.
“Nooooo!!!” Rainbow Dash says.
She cries into Thunderstorm’s chest.
Thunderstorm wraps his wings around her and closes his eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
“You may come and see her if you like.” “I’m so sorry.” The doctor says.
He walks away.
“I got to go see her Dashy.” “I’m sorry.” Thunderstorm says.
“Don’t be.” “Sniffle.” “I understand.” “Go.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm nods and walks into Applejack’s room and up to her bed and looks down at her.
Tears pour down his cheeks.
“Firefly was my brother and you are my sister.” “Ha huh.” “Why is everypony that I care about leaving me?” “Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” “First Scootaloo then Firefly then Dia De Los Muerto…” “Ha huh.” Thunderstorm says.
He closes his eyes tight.
Tears pouring out.
He opens them back up.
“And now you.” “I hope your with Firefly…ha huh….and don’t worry…..ha huh…..ha huh….We’ll take good care of….ha huh….Applesauce.” He says and cries into her bed.
Applejack’s hoof slowly moves and touches his cheek.
Thunderstorm stops crying and looks at her hoof and then at her.
“Applejack?” He says.
“Thunder….storm…is that…..you?” Applejack says.
Thunderstorm smiles and grabs her hoof.
“Yes Applejack.” “Yes it’s me.” “Please open your eyes.” Thunderstorm says.
Applejack’s eyes slowly open and she smiles.
“Hey Thunder.” “Uuuh.” “What happened?” Applejack says.
“Heh.” “That’s not important AJ.” “You’re ok.” “Ha haa!!” “She’s ok!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony runs into the room.
“Applejack!!!” They all say and hug her.
She smiles.
“Hey yall.” “Good to see yall to but could yall give me some space to breathe please?” Applejack says.
They all back up.
“Sorry.” They all say.
“Awww it’s quite alright.” Applejack says.
The doctor runs into the room.
“You’re alive b…but how?” “Your heart stopped.” “You wouldn’t come back.” The doctor says.
Applejack smiles up at Thunderstorm.
“I heard my brother’s voice and It brought me back.” Applejack says.
Thunderstorm smiles down at her.
“Amazing.” “Just…amazing.” The doctor says.
He leaves the room.
“Don’t worry.” “Your face isn’t as it used to be but your still very beautiful AJ.” Thunderstorm says.
“I don’t care.” “I saw him Thunder.” “I saw him.” Applejack says.
“Saw who?” Thunderstorm says.
“Firefly.” “When I heard your voice he told me to go back.” “That it wasn’t my time yet.” “He gave me a quick kiss and I felt it Thunder.” Applejack says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“I felt it….I felt it.” Applejack says.
Tears appear in Thunderstorm’s eyes and he smiles.
“Ha huh.” “That’s great AJ.” “He loves you.” “Ha huh.” “He’ll always be with you.” Thunderstorm says.
“Ha huh.” “I know.” “How’s Applesauce?” Applejack says.
“Fine.” “He’s with the other babies but I think he misses his mother.” Twilight says.
Twilight smiles at Applejack.
Applejack smiles back.
“Thanks Twi.” “I bet he does.” “That little cowboy.” “Heh.” “He makes me smile every time.” Applejack says.
“I wish Isaac was here.” “So he could know that Applejack is ok.” David says.
“He knows David.” “He knows.” Thunderstorm says.
Hours later in the middle of Canterlot on a stage.
Everypony is cheering.
The Main Six, Ratchet, JT, and David stand on it.
Thunderstorm walks up to the front of the stage.
“Since my mother and Aunt Celestia aren’t with us anymore it is up to me to praise and award these heroes!” “As Luna’s son and Princess Celestia’s nephew I’am your new leader and I promise that I will lead you well!!” “I’am kind like my mother and smart like my Aunt!!” “We will rebuild Equestria together!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony cheers.
“Now for our heroes!” “For your brave, noble, selflessness, and much more courage and strength!!” “Equestria gives you all the medal of Heroism, Light, and Freedom!!” “Because you brought all those things back to it and back to us!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony cheers.
A pony puts the medals on them all.
“But what about you?” “You helped to.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“I don’t need recognition Dashy.” “The fact that my family and friends are safe again is all that matters and is more than I could ask for.” Thunderstorm says.
“But…” Rainbow Dash says.
“And for all the ponies that died!!” Thunderstorm says.
A curtain is pulled back revealing a statue with a lot of names on it.
“This statue will stand as a memorial to them all!!” “And for the human that helped us!!” Thunderstorm says.
Another curtain is pulled back and another statue is revealed.
“This statue will stand forever as a memorial and a reminder that even the most evil of species can be good!!” “Now before we let our heroes go!!” “Give them thanks!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Everypony cheers the loudest that they can.
Everypony on stage bows then walks off stage.
The sun shines in the sky.
Rainbow Dash walks up to Thunderstorm with Rain.
“Everything looks better.” She says.
Thunderstorm looks up into sky.
Dia De Los Muerto, Scootaloo, Luna, and Firefly go through his head.
Scootaloo and Dia De Los Muerto giggling.
Firefly laughing.
and Luna smiling at him.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“Yeah…” Thunderstorm says.
He looks at the shining sun and smiles.
“…Much better.” He says.
David and the others look at the shining sun to and smile.
“Everything is ok now.” David says.
Fluttershy smiles.
“We made it.” Fluttershy says.
Sirena yawns.
David smiles down at her.
Thunderstorm looks at all the coffins being buried.
“We live on a graveyard.” “Things will never be the same.”
The End
Deadstria
Chapter 1 A Picture
In Thunderstorm’s castle.
“King Thunderstorm!!” A guard says.
“What is it Hurricane?” Thunderstorm says.
“Some strange object was found 50 miles outside of the Crystal Empire.” “We have no idea what it is.” “Here’s a picture that Hail drew.” Hurricane says.
“What a strange shape.” “What could it be?” “Looks like some kind of technology.” “Have Ratchet look into it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yes sir.” Hurricane says and runs out the room.
Thunderstorm stares at the picture.
Rainbow Dash walks up to him.
“What is that?” She says.
“I wish I knew.” Thunderstorm says.
“It looks strange.” “Did somepony see this?” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm nods.
“What are we going to do?” Rainbow Dash says.
“I got Ratchet working on it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh cool.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm puts the picture on the wall then smiles at Rainbow Dash.
“How is my pregnant Queen?” He says and kisses her.
She smiles.
“Great besides being 5 months pregnant.” “I can barely walk I’m so fat.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles at her even more.
“You couldn’t be more beautiful.” Thunderstorm says.
“No pony this fat is beautiful.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm gives her a long kiss.
“Wow…you do still think I’m beautiful.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Let me take you to that bed and I’ll show you even more how beautiful you are to me.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash blushes and giggles.
“Thunderstorm.” “Stop it.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“I can’t help it.” “You are so beautiful and strong willed.” “How you have even gotten through 3 months I don’t know.” “I couldn’t have.” Thunderstorm says.
“Now you’re just bullbitting me.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Possibly.” “Ow.” Thunderstorm says.
She hits his shoulder.
He laughs.
“I was just joking.” He says rubbing his shoulder.
“Ow.” He says.
“That’s what you get you joker.” She says.
“But seriously.” “Want to go to the bed?” Thunderstorm says.
“I don’t really feel like it.” “I wobble just to walk.” “I don’t think I be very good right now.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Making love to you is always good.” “You are the pony I love.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Ok.” “Let’s go.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Let’s.” He says.
The next day.
Thunderstorm smiles at Rainbow Dash sleeping.
He kisses her cheek.
“I love you Dashy.” He says and starts to get out of the bed.
“Wait Thunder.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Dashy.” “You’re awake.” Thunderstorm says.
“Please don’t leave.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I was just going to make you some breakfast and then bring it to you.” “Breakfast in bed.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash kisses him.
“You are too sweet.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Never.” He says.
“You were amazing last night.” Rainbow Dash says.
“So were you.” Thunderstorm says.
“I just want to lay here with you forever.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles even more.
“Back at ya.” He says.
They kiss.
Hurricane runs into the room.
“Thunderstorm!!” “Some kind of creatures are here!!” “We need your…” Hurricane says.
A creature lands on Hurricane’s back and stabs a small claw into his forehead then flies off.
“What the hay was that?” “Hurricane are you ok?” Thunderstorm says.
Things grow out of Hurricane’s body.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” He screams.
“Hurricane get a hold of yourself!” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh my gosh.” Rainbow Dash says.
Hurricane tackles Thunderstorm.
“Hurricane don’t make me hurt you!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Hurricane screams.
POW!!
Hurricane falls onto the floor.
His body in half.
“What the hay was that?!” “David?” Thunderstorm says.
“I’ll explain later.” “Where did you get this picture?” David says.
“Hurricane gave it to me yesterday.” “Hail drew it.” “What are you wearing?” Thunderstorm says.
“No time to explain right now.” “Where is this?” David says.
“50 miles outside of The Crystal Empire.” Thunderstorm says.
“I brought the same suits for everypony.” “Here’s yalls.” “Put them on fast.” David says.
A few minutes later.
“Let me help you Dashy.” “There we go.” “We’re ready.” Thunderstorm says.
“Good.” “Take these.” David says.
“What are they?” Thunderstorm says.
“Plasma cutters.” “It’s what I used to kill Hurricane.” David says.
“You still haven’t explained what’s going on.” Thunderstorm says.
“I will but not now.” “Follow me and stay close.” David says.
They follow David down the hallway and all the way down to Thunderstorm’s throne room.
“Is that doc?” Thunderstorm says.
“Not anymore.” “I had to shoot him on my way to yall.” David says and slowly opens one of the front doors.
“We’re clear.” “Follow me and move fast.” David says.
“I can’t really move fast.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm levitates her onto his back.
“Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
“On three.” “One…two….three!” David says and they run outside.
“Where are we going?!” Thunderstorm says.
“To mine and Cheerilee’s bunker!” David says.
“Is anypony else there?!” Thunderstorm says.
“All the others are!” David says.
“Ok.” Thunderstorm says.
David looks up into the sky.
“Take cover!” He says and they dive behind some rocks.
“That’s some of the creatures that stabbed Hurricane in his forehead.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’ll tell you everything when we reach the bunker.” David says.
“How far away is it?” Thunderstorm says.
“About another….30 miles.” David says.
“What?!!” Thunderstorm says.
“We had to make sure that it was in a safe place.” David says.
“You saved The Cutie Mark Crusaders right?” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh…I knew I forgot something.” David says.
Thunderstorm puts Rainbow Dash beside David.
“Keep her safe.” He says and flies off.
“No wait!!” “Damn him.” David says.
“We have to go after him.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Are you crazy?!” “If I don’t take you to the bunker first!” “He’ll kill me!!” “I’m getting you to the bunker.” David says.
“No.” Rainbow Dash says.
“No arguments.” David says.
“I’am the Queen of Equestria and you will do what I say.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Out of all respect no.” “I’m taking you to the bunker.” David says.
“How?” “You don’t have Thunder’s strength.” “You can’t carry me.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Good point.” “I guess we wait for him to come back then.” “Good thing I have plenty of ammo.” David says.
“Oh Luna.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm lands in front of the Cutie Mark Crusaders club house.

“Our mission is clear.” “To reach the marker that is 150 miles from this bunker and take it out.” Ratchet says.
“Keep close and keep on guard.” “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
“I forgot Angel.” “Can we please go get him?” Fluttershy says.
“Sure Flutter.” Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy smiles.
“Thanks Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“No problem.” He says.
At Ponyville.
“Wow.” David says.
“Yeah.” Thunderstorm says.
“Dang.” Ratchet says.
“Buck.” JT says.
Blood, bodies, ruined houses, the smell of death in the air and much more is in front of them.
“On three run.” “One…two…three!” David says.
They all run.
At Fluttershy’s cottage.
“Angel!!” Fluttershy says and runs inside.
“Fluttershy wait!!” Thunderstorm and David says.
Everypony runs after her.
In Fluttershy’s Cottage.
Fluttershy is holding Angel at hoofs length away from her.
He’s clawing and snarling at her.
“Angel.” “What’s wrong with you?” Fluttershy says.
“Oh buck.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh man.” David says.
Angel scratches her hoof.
“Ow!!” Fluttershy says and drops him.
He jumps on her.
“That’s not Angel Fluttershy!!!” “Not anymore!!” “Kill him!!!” “Now!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy holds Angel’s claws back.
“I don’t want to hurt Angel.” She says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Angel please….don’t do this.” She says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Angel roars.
He scratches her face.
“Ah!” She says.
“Kill him!!” Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy pushes him off and pulls out a plasma cutter and points it at Angel.
“Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” “Angel…please.” She says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Angel roars and jumps at her.
POW!!
Angel’s blood splatters on her.
She drops the plasma cutter and breaks down crying.
Thunderstorm steps forward.
“No….you got to look after Rainbow Dash.” “I got it.” David says.
David walks to Fluttershy and hugs her.
She cries into his chest.
“Fluttershy.” “I wish I could help.” “I’m so sorry my little butterfly.” Thunderstorm says.
“You do.” “By being here.” “You’ve looked after her since you were a teenager.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I’m older than Flutter.” “She’s like a daughter to me yet also a sister.” “I just want to look after her.” “To protect her from any pain.” “I don’t want her to hurt Dashy.” Thunderstorm says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“I know but it’s unavoidable.” “Just be there when she needs a father or brother.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Always.” “Sniffle.” “How is my beautiful pregnant queen?” Thunderstorm says.
“Ready to have this baby.” “I hate not being able to do anything.” “I can’t even run!” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm laughs.
“I know it hurts.” “I know how you feel.” “I had to shoot Cheerilee.” David says.
A tear goes down his cheek.
“Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” “But Cheerilee and Angel are free now.” “They’re in a better place and Angel wouldn’t want you to cry and I don’t either.” He says.
Fluttershy looks up at him.
“I’ll always be here to take the hurt away.” “I promise.” David says.
They slowly kiss.
“Hey!!” Thunderstorm says.
David and Fluttershy look at him in shock.
Thunderstorm walks over to them.
“Keep your lips away from my sister’s!!!” Thunderstorm says and pushes them apart.
“I think she’s been hurt enough.” “You stay away or you’ll be the next one dead.” “Beside me Fluttershy.” Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy stands up.
“Ok Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm kisses the top of her head.
“I’m just trying to keep you safe.” “You know that right?” Thunderstorm says.
“Yeah.” Fluttershy says.
“Good.” “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
“You can’t keep us apart forever.” David says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“Oh no.” Fluttershy says.
“Bad choice of words.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks back at him.
“What did you just say?” Thunderstorm says.
“I said you can’t keep us apart forever.” “She cares about me and I care about…” David says.
POW!!
BOOM!!!!
Thunderstorm punches him to the floor.
David tries to stand back up but falls back down.
“I told you that if you didn’t stay away that you’d be the next one dead.” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm steps on his chest.
David cringes in pain.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm’s armor appears and he points it at David’s neck.
“You must’ve thought I was kidding.” “Can’t keep you apart forever huh?” “I think this will be pretty permanent.” “Don’t you?” “She won’t be hurt anymore!!!” Thunderstorm says and raises his wing.
“No!!” She says and jumps over David’s neck and looks up at Thunderstorm.
“Move Flutter.” Thunderstorm says.
“No.” Fluttershy says.
“Flutter!!” “Move!!” Thunderstorm says.
“No Thunder.” “I do care about him and he understands how much I’m hurting…..what I lost.” Fluttershy says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“If you truly care about me then you won’t take that away from me.” “Please Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm’s wing shakes.
“F…Fine.” He says and puts his wing up and his armor disappears and he steps off of David.
Fluttershy hugs Thunderstorm.
“Thank you so much Thunder!!” She says and kisses his cheek then hugs David.
Thunderstorm looks at Fluttershy in shock.
“You’re blushing.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I’m just caught off guard is all.” Thunderstorm says.
“I know.” “Don’t worry.” “He won’t hurt her.” Rainbow Dash says.
“How do you know that?” Thunderstorm says.
“Because he looks at her the same way that you look at me.” “Would you hurt me?” Rainbow Dash says.
“I never could.” “Even if I tried.” Thunderstorm says.
“Exactly.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks at Fluttershy and David.
“I just can’t let go.” Thunderstorm says.
“You don’t have to.” “I’ll keep you in check.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Thanks Dashy.” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Happy to Thunder.” Rainbow Dash says.
They kiss.
“That was pretty brave what you did for me Fluttershy.” David says.
Fluttershy blushes.
“It was nothing.” “I know Thunder would never hurt me.” “He’s like a father slash brother to me.” “He’s protective like a father but likes to cut up with me like a brother.” “Are you alright?” She says.
David smiles.
“I’m fine.” “Thunder is my friend to.” “He wasn’t going to kill me.” “Nearly kill me yes but kill me no.” “The important thing is…are you ok?” David says.
“I’am now.” She says and kisses him.

“Yall keep going!” “I’ll slow em down!” Firefly says.
“The hay you will!” Applejack says.
POW!!
Applejack falls down knocked out.
Thunderstorm stands behind her.
Firefly looks at him.
They shake hoofs.
Thunderstorm levitates Applejack onto Ratchet’s back then looks at Firefly.
“I love you brother.” Thunderstorm says.
Firefly nods.
“I love you to brother.” “Now go.” Firefly says.
Thunderstorm nods and they all take off.
Firefly pulls out his plasma cutter.
“I aint going down without a fight.” “Bring it you son of bitches.” “I’ll show you just what a country stallion can do.” He says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” The Ubermorphs roar.
30 miles from where Firefly is.
Thunderstorm and the others have stopped to catch their breath.
“She’s….breaking my…..back.” Ratchet says.
“Really?” “Be a stallion Ratchet.” Thunderstorm says.
“I don’t have amazing strength that came from a Dark King father!” Ratchet says.
“You still have strength!!” “You’re a stallion for crying out loud!!” “Stop being a mare.” Thunderstorm says.
The girls look at Thunderstorm.
“Name one mare that can lift as much as me.” Thunderstorm says.
The girls look away.
“Exactly.” “Now stop being a mare and stallion up.” Thunderstorm says.
“Since you’re so strong why don’t you carry her?” Ratchet says.
“Because she’s probably going to jump awake and I have a baby on my back.” “Think man!!” Thunderstorm says.
“Then we’ll take turns.” “JT.” “You carry her now.” Ratchet says.
“I don’t want to carry her.” JT says.
“Twilight.” Thunderstorm says.
Twilight looks at JT.
“Yes ma’am.” “Let me see her.” JT says.
Ratchet levitates her onto JT’s back.
“Wow she’s heavy.” JT says.
“We’ll she is the strongest mare you’ll ever find.” “Which is nowhere close to my strength.” “I love who my parents are.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh buck.” David says.
BOOM!!
He Faints.
“Oh come on.” “We really don’t need this right now.” Thunderstorm says.
In David’s head.
David looks around and sighs.
“Let’s get this over with.” He says.
“Is that all this is to you?” “A get this over with moment.” A voice says.
David turns around.
“Applebloom!!” “What the hay are you doing here?!!” He says.
“You were like an uncle to me uncle David.” Applebloom says.
David smiles.
“Thank you Applebloom.” He says.
“So why did you let me die?” “I cried out for you and Applejack.” “Neither one of you came.” Applebloom says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“And I died.” “Those things….killed me.” She says.
“I wanted to come for you but there was no time.” “I’m sorry.” David says.
Applebloom walks up to him and hugs him.
David kneels down and hugs her back.
Cheerilee appears behind him.
Her eyes glowing.
Applebloom’s eyes start glowing and she squeezes tighter on David’s neck.
He grabs her hoofs and tries to pry them open.
Cheerilee pulls out a needle.
Where Thunderstorm and the others are.
“Why is he choking himself and holding a needle with his tail?” Thunderstorm says.
“You should know by now.” Isaac says.
“I was joking.” Thunderstorm says.
“Well don’t.” Isaac says.
“Sorry.” “Jeez.” Thunderstorm says.
Back inside of David’s head.
He pries Applebloom’s hoofs open and throws her across the blackness then quickly spins around and stops the needle.
Cheerilee smiles and pushes harder.
The needle is one inch from David’s eye.
“N…No.” “No!!” He says and kicks her in the stomach and takes the needle from her and jabs it between her eyes.
She stumbles backwards then falls down dead.
Everything goes white.
Back to where Thunderstorm and the others are.
David’s eyes slowly open.
“Oooh.” “That never gets any easier.” David says.
Thunderstorm hoofs him a med kit.
“Your health is blinking red.” “You need this bad.” Thunderstorm says.
David takes it.
“Thanks.” David says.
“Just looking after my brother-in-law.” Thunderstorm says.
“Brother-in-law?” David says.
“Well you are going to marry Fluttershy aren’t you?” Thunderstorm says.
“Of course.” David says.
“Well she’s my sister so you’re my brother-in-law.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh.” “Duh.” “Cool!!” David says.
“I’ll marry yall once this whole mess is over.” Thunderstorm says.
“What if we don’t make it?” David says.
“I’ll make sure you both make it don’t worry.” Thunderstorm says.
“What about you?” David says.
“If I don’t make it then Dashy can marry yall.” “Just know that you both have my blessing.” Thunderstorm says.
“…..Thank you.” David says.
“Don’t mention it.” “Let’s move out ponies!!” Thunderstorm says.
“You heard the stallion.” “Move it!!” “We don’t got time to waste.” “We need to be fast.” Isaac says.
Fluttershy walks up to David.
“What’s wrong?” She says.
“I don’t think Thunder plans on surviving this.” David says.
“Oh my.” “We got to tell Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy says.
“No.” “We don’t know for sure and there’s no reason to start something like that unless we’re sure.” David says.
“But how can we be sure before it’s too late?” Fluttershy says.
“We can’t.” David says.
“He can’t die.” Fluttershy says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“I already lost Angel….he was like a son to me.” “I don’t need to lose my brother to.” She says.
David wraps a wing around her.
“Don’t get upset.” “We don’t know for sure yet.” “I’ll find out in time.” “I promise.” David says.
They kiss then catch up to the others.
End of Chapter 10
Deadstria
Chapter 18 Never Be The Same
We walk as one.
We walk to protect our home.
We walk to avenge all those who are gone.
We walk….to our destiny.
“Dang it’s cold.” David says.
“Where are we?” “I can’t see in this blizzard.” Isaac says.
“The northern region of Equestria.” “The coldest region you’ll find.” Thunderstorm says.
“Damn.” “What is this Crystal Empire anyway?” Isaac says.
“An ancient Empire of Crystal Ponies that once disappeared because of a Dark King known as King Sombra but he was destroyed and they have lived in peace ever since but who knows how it is now?” Thunderstorm says.
“Probably ruins.” JT says.
Twilight starts crying.
Everypony looks at him.
“I…I’m sorry Twilight.” “I…I wasn’t thinking.” “I didn’t mean to make you cry.” “I’m sorry.” JT says.
“It’s ok.” “Can we just move on?” Twilight says.
“Of course.” Thunderstorm says.
“We sure are leaving a lot of tracks in the snow.” “Couldn’t those Necromorph things follow our tracks?” Applejack says.
“They won’t.” “They fear the Marker like everyone else does.” “The closer you get to it.” “The less Necromorphs you run into but it’s nowhere safer to be.” “In fact it’s more dangerous.” Isaac says.
“So either way you’re screwed.” Rarity says.
“Yep.” Isaac says.
“Oh my.” Rarity says.
“Yipe.” Fluttershy says.
“They killed Skyrid.” “Now I’ll kill them.” Pinkie Pie says.
“Exactly Pinkie.” “Me and you are on the same page.” “Revenge.”“We are not screwed Isaac.” “They are.” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red.
“They took my brother…and my daughters from me.” “Now I’ll take everything from them.” “Now stop being scared and move!!!” Thunderstorm says.
Thunderstorm and Pinkie walk off beside each other holding their guns.
“They’ve changed.” “They’ve gotten colder.” Twilight says.
“Losing somepony does that to you Twilight.” “You wouldn’t understand and I hope you never do.” Rarity says and walks off following Thunderstorm and Pinkie.
Her gun out.
Applejack follows Rarity.
Her gun out to.
“Will they all be ok?” Fluttershy says.
“No.” “The scars are too deep.” “Even for Pinkie.”“She’ll still throw parties but she’ll never quite have that same happy look in her eyes again.” “The cold will always be there.” David says.
“Thunderstorm isn’t the only pony who lost a daughter.” “Scootaloo was my daughter to.” Rainbow Dash says and walks off following the others.
Her gun out.
“I lost my girlfriend.” “Sorry girls.” Isaac says and follows Rainbow Dash.
His gun out.
“I lost Cheerilee and all my children but I gained Fluttershy and a new daughter so I’m alright.” David says.
“Out of the entire group only the five of us aren’t going through what the rest is going through.” “Only five.” “So many of us have been hurt.” Twilight says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“And so many are dead.” Twilight says.
“Twilight…you lost Princess Celestia…your teacher.” “You are going through it.” Fluttershy says.
Twilight pulls out her gun.
“You’re right Fluttershy.” Twilight says.
Coldness enters her eyes.
“Thank you.” She says and follows the others.
“Oh my…maybe I shouldn’t have said anything?” Fluttershy says.
“She would’ve realized it at some point anyway.” David says.
“Yeah.” “Don’t feel bad.” “I’ll go check on her.” JT says and runs off after Twilight.
“Well we don’t want to fall behind the others so let’s move.” Ratchet says.
They all run to catch up to the others.
5 miles later.
SHING!!
A disc from the Remote Control Disc Ripper stabs into the ground an inch from Thunderstorm’s hoof.
Thunderstorm looks at Pinkie Pie.
“I didn’t do it Thundy.” “Are you crazy?” Pinkie Pie says.
A dark figure appears in the distance.
More appear behind it.
“I knew this wouldn’t be easy.” David says.
“Neutologist.” “Damn them.” Isaac says.
“Pinkie.” Thunderstorm says.
Pinkie Pie pulls out her Remote Control Disc Ripper.
“You got it Thundy.” She says.
“Make it as gory as possible.” Thunderstorm says.
“With pleasure.” Pinkie Pie says.
POW!!
She fires out a disc and sends it through a ponies right front leg and left back leg.
They go off spraying blood everywhere.
The pony cries out in pain and falls over.
The disc rips through another ponies back.
Blood pours out and his bloody throbbing muscle and bone are revealed.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”!!! He screams.
The disc soars through the air ripping through all of them.
Blood spraying everywhere.
They all cry out in pain and moan till it’s finally over.
Everypony watches Pinkie in shock except for Thunderstorm, David, Isaac, and Ratchet.
They just stare forward watching.
“Good job.” “Now let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
“According to my calculations and my map….”
They walk out of the blizzard.
Everypony looks up in awe and fear.
The Marker stands in front of them.
“…We’re here.” Ratchet says.
